Serena Williams finally captured her first Western & Southern Open title on Sunday, beating Ana Ivanovic 6-4 6-1 to win the tournament for the first time in six tries. Cincinnati was becoming one of the most elusive WTA events to Williams' trophy cabinet - she had never won here in five previous tries, second-most to Sydney, where she has never won in six previous tries. But it turned out to be sixth time lucky for the World No.1 at the Premier-level event.
