Serena keeps up winning run to lift Stanford title
Top seed Serena Williams overcame fellow American CoCo Vandeweghe 7-5 6-3 to retain the Stanford Classic title on Sunday.
Just eight days after winning her fifth Wimbledon
single title, Williams fought off a set point in the first set before
overcoming big-serving Vandeweghe, who had reached her first WTA final.
The 30-year-old Williams used her experience and know-how to race past the 20-year-old, nailing 21 winners.
Vandeweghe struck 20 winners and committed 25 unforced errors.
Williams won her 43rd career title, tying her with her
older sister Venus for the most titles among active players on the WTA
tour.
The world number four has now won 28 out of her last 29 matches.
