Serena Williams wins Miami Title

Serena Williams claimed her eighth Miami Open championship with a one-sided victory over Carla Suarez Navarro in the final.

The dominant American secured a 6-0 6-2 win on Saturday to notch her third consecutive Miami title and the 66th WTA title of her illustrious career.

Williams joins Steffi Graf, Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert as the only Open Era players to win the same event at least eight times.

"I'd like to believe the older I get, the better I get," Williams, 33, said after the match.

"I improvised today," she said. "I took some pace off to get my first serve in and it worked for me, because I haven't been serving in this tournament the way I would like to. Improvising was healthy."

Suarez Navarro, who beat Williams' sister Venus en route to the final, will break into the world's top 10 on account of her Florida performances.

"When I play with Serena, I know that she's the best," Suarez Navarro said. "She has the game to make me play bad."
