It was an all-Williams final, and it was younger sister Serena who turned the tables, reversing last
year's result with a straight-sets victory.
Venus served first, and the first 7 games went with serve. Serena was serving at 3-4, when her serve
faultered, allowing the score to slip to 15-40 and giving Venus the first break points of the match. But a
lucky bounce and a close line call denied Venus the break, and the match continued on serve until the
tie-break.
But the first set decider favoured Serena, with two early mini-breaks putting Venus on the back foot;
and although Venus got one back, she again dropped a point on her serve on set point to hand
Serena the first set.
The second set stayed on serve for the first 5 games, Serena leading 3-2 before the first break of the
game gave her the edge in the second set. Another break was to come in Venus's next service game,
giving Serena the simplest of tasks to serve out the next game for the Championship.
The Williams dominance not only saw the sisters compete in the final, but later in the afternoon they
teamed up to defeat Australians Sam Stosur and Rennae Stubbs in the doubles.
