Serena Williams secured a suitable finish to an astounding year as she captured the round-robin WTA Championships title without losing a match. Nor did it inhibit her that her 6-2, 7-6 win in the final required her to take the title from her elder sister, Venus. There was a formal handshake and professional public compliments but none of the hugs and reassurances that used to pass between them in their younger, perhaps more vulnerable days.I totally didn't expect to come here and win my practice didn't go well at all, said Serena, though that was rather hard to believe. Played in Khalifa stadium of Doha the final entertained the audiences for one and half hour. Serena who came as world number 9 player returned as world number 1. The first set remained one-sided but in second set very tough and interesting competition was seen. Serena took a lead of 5-1 in the start of second set but Venus gave her a tough time by scoring three points break. Eventually, Serena won this set too by 7-6 and winning the title as well.
