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.
