Serena Williams crushes Errani to retain in Rome
SERENA Williams won her third Italian Open title, crushing local favourite Sara Errani 6-3 6-0 in Rome yesterday.
The world No 1 looked on top form against the 10th-seeded Errani, who was cheered on by a passionate home crowd but suffered a thigh injury towards the end of the first set and never recovered.
All the action was in the first set, which lasted longer than the 46-minute hammering Williams dished out to the Italian in the semi-finals of the French Open last year, when Errani won only one game.
