After a rash of upsets decimated the men’s and women’s draws at the Rogers Cup in Montreal and Toronto respectively, Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic restored order in the tennis world when each claimed their second titles in Canada on Sunday.
Williams was always in control against Australia’s Samantha Stosur, winning 6–4, 6–2. Williams was playing in her fourth tournament since returning after almost a year away from the tour due to injury. She captured her second title of the year and first Canadian Open title since winning her first 10 years ago.
Djokovic didn’t have his best game, but was able to persevere against top-ranked American Mardy Fish. The Serbian world number one won 6–2, 3–6, 6–4 in an up and down match.
In contrast to Williams, Djokovic has been all over the men’s tour, taking his 2011 record to 53–1. His only loss came to Roger Federer in the French Open semifinal.
