Kim Clijsters defeated Venus Williams 6-2, 6-1 in just 58 minutes to win Sony Ericsson Open, her 37th career title!

Kim won 17 straight points during the match and ended the 15-game winning streak for Venus, who was going after a fourth Miami title. Venus, wearing bandaging on both legs, made 30 unforced errors and throwing in double faults at crucial stages to drop serve.

"She's a great competitor, a great athlete and one of the best that women's tennis has ever had," Kim said of Williams afterwards. "I knew I had to come out here and play well. My semifinal was such an exciting match and I tried to keep going from there and try not to lose that beat that I had. I was happy with the way I was able to keep playing throughout this whole match."

Today’s win will rise Kim to top 10 on Monday's rankings, and that's the first time she'll be in top 10 since she returned to the Sony Ericsson Open WTA Tour last year.

“It took a lot of hard work to get back into shape and I have a few people to thank, including my fitness coach and husband,” Kim said during the on-court ceremony. “It feels really good to be back here, having won the title in 2005. It’s always nice to come back to a place you have done well before, and to such a beautiful stadium.”

Venus, who will rise to No. 4 in the world rankings on Monday, said: "Congratulations to Kim. What a great tournament. She played really well today. It wasn't my best day, but I'll be back next year."
