WELLINGTON - Serena Williams won her first title since the 2017 Australian Open with a 6-3 6-4 victory over fellow American Jessica Pegula at the Auckland Classic on Sunday.
The 38-year-old Williams now has the opportunity to sweep both titles at the Auckland Tennis Center, having also advanced to the doubles final with good friend Caroline Wozniacki.The victory gave Williams her 73rd WTA title and broke a near three-year drought, despite having appeared in five finals since she clinched her 23rd Grand Slam crown with a win at the Australian Open in 2017.
She had struggled for consistency earlier in the week, but sent an ominous message to the field at this year’s Australian Open that starts on Jan. 20 when she demolished promising teenager Amanda Anisimova 6-1 6-1 in 45 minutes in their semi-final. She could have held a 3-0 advantage had the 38-year-old not fought off four break points to get on the board.
