Serena Williams defeated elder sister Venus Williams 6-4, 6-3 in the final of the one-night exhibition event Billie Jean King Cup.

“Definitely winning in Madison Square Garden, also with Billie Jean and this Cup is just really fun and it being the first time is really cool,” said Serena Williams, who took home $400,000 of the $1.2 million purse.

“I’m really excited about that opportunity. Hopefully it will continue to open more doors for women’s sports and women’s tennis."

In the semifinal matches, Serena Williams defeated Ana Ivanovic 6-3 and Venus defeated Jelena Jankovic 6-4.

Venus, who leads the sisters' WTA tournament head-to-head series 10-9, said: "I tried but Serena was too good.She just didn't miss and I needed a little more luck."

The Billie Jean King Cup was part of “Tennis Night in America,” an effort by the U.S. Tennis Association to get youth registered for the sport. More than 750 tennis and community centers were signing up kids for spring and summer leagues.

“Billie Jean King has done so much for the game,” Jelena said. “She’s really a true legend in the sport. I think this is a really great tribute to her.”
