Serena wins title after epic win
Serena Williams has been beaten only once this season The American lost the first set in just 26 minutes and looked to be heading for a comprehensive defeat after being broken at the start of the second set.But Williams saved two match points with Henin serving at 5-4 and won the next six games to take control.And she closed out the two hour, 26 minute marathon with a service winner.”It’s just not in me to give up,” said Williams, who has also won this title in 2002, 2003
and 2004. “I’m definitely not a fearless individual.”I feel like when I get down, a part of me just plays better, and I think all champions have that. When I play well, there aren’t many players who can beat me.”The event was Williams’ first tournament since winning the Australian Open in January.Henin, who arrived in Miami following tournament wins in Dubai and Qatar, had never made it past the quarter-finals in Miami and looked set for victory when she raced through the opening set.”Serena is a real fighter,” said the 24-year-old.”At the end she was better than me, she was really focused on every point. I gave my best but it wasn’t enough.”
