Former World no 1 Caroline Wozniacki ended her career long jinx against Venus Williams in spectacular style to lift the WTA final trophy for the first time on Sunday.
The Dane had won just one set from seven harrowing defeats to Venus but she turned the tables with a 6-4 6-4 victory in 89 minutes at the singapore indoor stadium .
Wozniacki had some nervy moments after 37- years old Venus , the tournament's oldest ever finalist clawed her way bak from 0-5 down in the second set , but she kept her cool seal victory with a backhand down the line , throwing her racquet into the air and holding her hands to her face in disbelief. I am so happy I managed to win in the end Wozniacki said Eight is my lucky number . If i was going to beat her once in my career it had to be today it is really sweet couldn't be happer right now. Venus was denied a 50th career iriumph and first for the year
