| Venus Williams wins 1st WTA tournament in more than 2 years
Venus Williams won her first WTA tournament in more than two years, beating Monica Niculescu of Romania 62, 63 to take the Luxembourg Open title on Sunday.
Slowed by injuries and illness for two seasons, Williams showed she still had the winning touch and played steady tennis while Niculescu <a href=http://www.aapl.cc>wholesale jerseys</a> <a href=http://www.aapl.cc>nfl jerseys wholesale</a> proved errorprone as she sought her first career title.
For a player who relies strongly on her serve, she was successful on only 63 per cent of her first serves and didn't manage a single ace on the indoor hardcourts at CK Sportcenter Kockelsheuer. She was much more <a href=http://www.kurilladesign.com>nfl jerseys cheap</a> solid in her backcourt game as Niculescu looked hesitant from the start and failed to get any momentum going.
The victory was a welcome turnaround for Williams, who has been struggling for several years from an autoimmune disease, which often left her fatigued and with painful joints.
She only started her season in March following a sevenmonth layoff because of the illness. And even then, it often was a slog through the summer in singles play, as she struggled to capture the style and power of old.
In doubles, she did shine when she won a 13th Grand Slam doubles title at Wimbledon with sister Serena and then made it a repeat performance at the London Olympics a month later.
