Venus Williams defeated Virginie Razzano 6-4, 6-2 to win her first title of the season .
The victory gave Venus her 40th career singles title and was the seventh triumph in her last eight finals. Her last title came at the WTA Championships in Doha in November.
"It was a great match and I'm happy to have finely won the title," said Venus. "Virginie played tough."
“I have to congratulate her,” she added. “She beat some top players and played well again today.”
Venus will return to the Top 5 from sixth for the first time since the week of August 25, 2003.
“It was a great week to be able to win against the world’s best player, my sister,” said Venus.
On question if she might also replace her younger sibling at the top of the rankings, Venus said “Well I would love to be the best in the world - and I am coming. So I am going to try.”
