On Sunday at Stanford University, in the final of the Bank of the West Classic, the 1999, 2002, & 2008 US Open champion (13-time Grand Slam singles champ), 29 year old 7th seeded #172 (former #1; ranking down due to injury & illness) Serena Williams from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, defeated the 2009 Stanford champ (and this year's champion at Eastbourne), 26 year old 3rd seeded #9 (career high: #9) Marion Bartoli of France (residence: Geneva, SUI), 7-5, 6-1 (Serena is shown with the glassware after the match).     Serena's prize is $111,000; Marion's is $60,700.     Serena struck 11 aces with 2 double faults while scoring on 5 of the 7 break points she reached against Marion and totaling 70 points in the match. Marion had 3 aces, but with 8 DFs, while converting only 2 of the 8 break points she reached against Serena and scoring 46 points in the match.     Serena said: "Coming back and hearing the claps when I walk out there are moments that I truly missed. It's so awesome to be back and to be a part of those moments." AP story     Serena now leads Marion 3-1 in career matches. Their most recent meeting was on a chlorophyll court last month in the 4th round at Wimbledon, when Marion defeated Serena 6-3, 7-6(6).     Marion said: "Serena can improve from one day to the other. So you can imagine from one match to the other. I knew before the match started it was different than Wimbledon... I'm sure she's going to tell you that she can play even better. And I'm sure that she will."

    13 time Grand Slam tourney champion Serena is now 38-14 in WTA singles finals. She won the 2010 Australian Open and Wimbledon titles, but stepped on broken glass at a restaurant after Wimbledon last year and was sidelined for about 11 months, during which she also suffered from a pulmonary embolism. Serena, who did not return to play until Eastbourne in June of this year, has a 8-2 singles match record for the season.

    2007 Wimbledon finalist Marion is now 6-9 in WTA singles finals; she reached the Indian Wells final and French Open semifinals this year, and won at Eastbourne; prior to that she had not won a title since Stanford in 2009. Marion has a 42-17 singles match record in 2011.

    In College Park, Maryland, on Sunday, in the final of the first CitiOpen, the 2008 champion at Cincinnati, 29 year old 2nd seeded #32 (career high: #3) Nadia Petrova of Russia (residence: Monte Carlo, Monaco), defeated the 2009 champ in Tashkent, 24 year old top seeded #24 (career high #11) Shahar Peer from Maccabim, Israel, 7-5, 6-2 (Nadia is also shown with the glassware after the match). Nadia's prize is $37,000; Shahar's is $19,000.

    Nadia said: "I knew Shahar wasn't able to hurt me with her serve, especially her second serve, so even though I was broken early in each set I knew I could turn it around. I'm happy with my record against her. And today was an important match, going for the title—all I had in my mind was to fight for every point, and at the end of the day walk away with the trophy...

    "Before Miami I had vertigo for six weeks, which really knocked me off my feet. I couldn't defend my points in the clay court season, and felt a little down. I haven't been in a happy place since then. [Reaching the 4th round at] Wimbledon was a turning point for me." WTA story

    Shahar said: "Nadia served really huge. She's a great player and can get out of tough situations with her serve. She played very well and deserved to win today."

    Nadia now leads Shahar 6-0 in career matches. Their previos meeting was on a hardcourt in the 1st round at Los Angeles in 2009, when Nadia defeatd Shahar 6-4, 2-6, 6-3.

    Nadia is now 10-11 in WTA singles finals. Though College Park is her first title since 2008, she did reach the final New Haven last year. Nadia is 17-14 in singles matches in 2011.

    Shahar is now 5-3 in WTA singles finals; she won in Guangzhou and Tashkent in 2009, and in Pattaya City, Prague, and Istanbul in 2006. Shahar has an 18-15 singles match record this year.

We spoke a lot about things we were working on, but [Nigel said] 'When you go out there I want you to trust your instincts,' but I still thought too much about technical stuff. It’s matter of practicing and doing it over and over until it becomes automatic. A few times I was not aggressive enough and was thinking too much what I had to do."
