ISTANBUL — Serena Williams got her 2nd straight WTA Championship and 11th title of the year she defeated Li Na 2-6, 6-3, 6-0 on Sunday.
Serena became the 8th woman to win 11 or more titles a year and the first since Martina Hingis had 12 in 1997.
Li had a quick 2-1 lead, she was quick to break serve. However, in the start of the 2nd set Williams won a key game that went to 9 deuces and lasted 11 minutes. Li served an ace that tied it to 3-3. But she had a double-fault and a forehand error that gave Williams a chance to serve out the set. Williams needed three set points to close it out.
Li had another double-fault that gave Williams a break of serve at the start of the third, and Williams never look back.
