Sport betting saw Serena Williams defeat her sister Venus Williams 6-2, 7-6 (4) in the Sony Ericsson Championships final which ended the tennis online sports betting season for the women.
Serena Williams broke twice in the first set and then won the second set in a tiebreaker. Sport betting on Serena has seen her have a solid season. “It feels great,” said Serena, “I totally didn’t expect to come here and win.” Serena has now won in online sports betting four straight times over Venus. She defeated Venus in the round-robin part of the Doha tournament, the Wimbledon final and the semifinals in Miami.
She now leads the all-time series between the two 13-10. “Playing a final against Venus is really tough,” Serena said. “Even though she wasn’t really feeling great, she kept hitting every ball back.” Serena will end the year ranked #1 as online sports betting has it since former #1 Dinara Safina pulled out with an injury.
This sport betting tennis tournament was an interesting event as the top eight ranked women in the world were playing a round-robin event. Venus lost two of her three round-robin matches in sport betting but still advanced. “It was the end of the season, so I have no complaints,” Venus said, “You have to show up and play no matter what. So that had nothing to do with it.”
Serena got her third sport betting tennis win of the season for an event as she also won Wimbledon and the Australian Open. “I haven’t won a tournament that wasn’t a Grand Slam in a while, so that was even more exciting,” she said.
This is the fifth time in Serena’s career (third time in 2009) that she will rise to the top ranking in the world as online sports betting showed. She will end a sport betting season as the top-ranked player for the second time in her career, having done it is 2002. “2009 has been a truly memorable season for me during which I enjoyed some of the biggest wins of my career,” Williams said. “Capturing the year-end world No.1 ranking is a huge accomplishment for me and I am thrilled that all the hard work has paid off.” Earlier this sport betting year in February, Williams became the first professional female athlete to eclipse the $23-million mark in money earned and she passed Lindsay Davenport as the all-time prize money leader on the Tour.
