Serena Williams beat Samantha Stosur 6-4, 6-2 to capture Toronto Cup and hopes to climb up the ranking in time for the US Open.Serena Williams won her second straight tournament and proved her mettle ahead of the US Open with a convincing 6-4, 6-2 win over Australias Samantha Stosur in the Toronto Cup final.Williams, who won the Stanford Classic last month, held her serve throughout the 77-minute match and called her game solid despite acknowledging there is room for improvement for the US Open, which begins on August 29.The former world number one, playing in just her fourth tournament since returning from an 11-month layoff in June, capped the victory in style with an ace and then raised her arms in the air before jumping up and down repeatedly.Well, you know, I was so close to never been able to play again so that kind of makes a big difference, you know, Williams said.The American, who next plays the Cincinnati Open, improved to 11-0 in hard court matches this year and is looking like the dominant player who captured the Wimbledon title last year before her layoff.
