Null problem i finalen for den amerikanske jenta.

Fredag slo hun ut lillesøster Serena Williams i semifinalen i Dubai Open. Lørdag knuste Venus Williams franske Virginie Razzano i to sett med sifrene 6-4, 6-2.

Hun har nå vunnet sju av sine åtte siste finaler og står med 40 titler i karrieren.

- Dette var en stor uke for meg, og høydepunktet var da jeg slo verdens beste spiller, nemlig søsteren min, sa storesøster Williams.

Venus har nå ti seiere mot Serena, mens lillesøsteren har ni seire mot Venus.

- Jeg må gratulere Razzano. Hun har slått ut noen meget gode spillere, og spilte godt også i dag, sa Venus etter finalen.

Men det er nok ikke Williams sin finaleseier som vil bli best husket fra mesterskapet. Shahar Peer skulle egentlig delta i mesterskapet, men ble nektet innreise til De Forente Arabiske Emirater på grunn av manglende visum. Dette har vekt kraftige reaksjoner i tennismiljøet.

Nå er det klart at amerikanske Andy Roddick trekker seg fra mennenes turnering som går av stabelen neste uke. Tennisesset trekker seg i ren protest av myndighetenes behandling av israelske Peer.

- Jeg er ikke enig i det som skjedde. Jeg synes ikke man skal blande sport og politikk, sier Roddick.

Mennenes turnering vil foregå uten verdens beste spillere. Verdensener Rafael Nadal og Roger Federer har allerede trukket seg fra turneringen på grunn av skader. Bare to av de sju beste på ATP-rankingen kommer til å stille i Dubai.
