DEFENDING champion Victoria Azarenka of Belarus beat Serena Williams 7-6 (6), 2-6, 6-3 to win the Qatar Open in Doha on Sunday, earning her 16th title and ending a 10-match losing streak against the American.
Azarenka gave up the No. 1 ranking to the second-ranked Williams yesterday but extended her current winning streak to 14 matches, which included her second Australian Open title in Melbourne.
More importantly, the Belarussian may have turned around what has been a one-sided rivalry against Williams. Azarenka had not beaten Williams since 2009 in Miami, and had a 1-11 record against the American going into Sunday's final.
"It feels incredible," Azarenka said. "You know, this tournament is really great. ... It had such a strong field going into it, and I'm really glad that at the end of the week I'm the one who's holding the trophy."
