Serena Williams cruised to victory on Sunday in the Rogers Cup final over Sorana Cirstea to claim her third career Rogers Cup title.
Williams won in two sets, 6-2, 6-0 in a match that lasted only 65 minutes.
With three career Rogers Cup titles, Williams sits alone in second behind Monica Seles and Chris Evert, who both has four Rogers Cup titles in the Modern Era. Her previous victories were in 2011 and 2001.
“For me, this is a big tournament. This is one of the big stops of the year,” said Williams after the match.
The victory was also William’s 54th career WTA title and eighth title of the year, matching her personal best of eight wins in 2002.
“I feel like I have played a lot of tennis this year, although I don’t think I have overdone it,” said Williams. “I feel like I have played key tournaments, played well in those tournaments, and just keep going.” – English.news.cn
