Serena Williams Defeats Jelena Jankovic To Win 2013 Family Circle Cup Title

Current women’s world No. 1 Serena Williams rallied on Sunday in Charleston, S.C., defeating Jelena Jankovic in three sets in the final of the Family Circle Cup, 3-6, 6-0, 6-2, according to the tournament’s official Twitter account.

The title is Williams’ se-cond straight at the WTA event and her third overall; she also won in 2008. The 31-year-old veteran has now won two straight singles tournaments after beating Maria Sharapova at the Sony Tennis Open in Miami last weekend.

Williams was the top seed in the draw, taking on the ninth-seeded Jankovic just a day after defeating her older sister Venus in straight sets in the tournament semifinals. The easy win marked Serena’s fifth straight against her sister. Serena leads the all-time head-to-head 14-10.
