Serena Williams won her 53rd WTA title by
beating Johanna Larsson 6-4, 6-1 in the
final of the Swedish Open on Sunday.
The 24-year-old Swede broke to lead 3-1 in
the first set before Williams fought back to
3-3. Larsson advanced to 4-3 before
caving in to the American's strong serve
and losing the next three games.
Williams dominated the second set,
breaking Larsson's serve twice.
''It was really good to come here and win
after a disappointing Wimbledon so
hopefully this confidence will help me for
the rest of the year,'' said Williams, who
lost in the fourth round at Wimbledon to
Sabine Lisicki.
Larsson said ''at the crucial points I wasn't
really present, which was a shame.''
Williams also defeated 76th-ranked Larsson
in their only previous match in the Fed Cup
earlier this year.
