Serena Williams beats Lucie Safarova to win the Family Circle Cup

Tuesday, April 10 2012 by SNTV

  • Intro:

    Williams wins first claycourt tournament since 2008.

    Script:

    Serena Williams capped a dominant week with another powerful performance to beat Lucie Safarova 6-0, 6-1 and capture her first clay-court tournament in four years at the Family Circle Cup on Sunday.

    Williams didn't drop a set in five matches this week and lost only three games over the weekend.

    She dispatched US Open champion Samantha Stosur, 6-1, 6-1 in the semifinals before thrashing Safarova.

    The American hadn't won a tournament on clay -- or even been runner-up on the surface -- since taking the 2008 championship here.

    Williams hadn't lost to the Czech in four previous matches - a run stretching back to 2007 and she wasn't going to start here as she raced through it 6-1 6-1 to win her third title of the year.
