Serena Williams has defeated Justine Henin to claim the Sony Ericcson singles title in Miami. After getting hammered in the first set Williams was able to turn the match around to win 0-6, 7-5, 6-3. Williams was down two match points in the second set before going on to win the match. It shows if you have talent you do not need regular tournament play to win the big tournaments. Williams was playing in her first tournament since winning at the Australian Open earlier this year.

The Miami tournament had many upsets along the way thus making for an interesting tournament. We are now moving closer to the next Grand Slam tournament which is the French Open. It will be interesting to see if Williams can take the next step in claiming the Grand Slam. I think she may need a bit more time on clay in the lead up to the tournament to have any chance.
