Serena Williams has captured the 2011 Rogers Cup Women's Tennis Championship today in Toronto. Williams captured the title beating 10th ranked women's player Samantha Stosur of Australia in straight sets 6-4 6-2. The 29 year old Williams won her second Rogers Cup title and her first in 10 years after winning her only other Rogers Cup title in 2001. The win culminates in a long comeback attempt for the 29 year old. In July of 2010 Williams stepped on a piece of broken glass causing her to get 18 stiches. The injury turned out to be a serious one in which she had to rehab her foot. While rehabbing her foot she suffered a severe bruise and later was found to have a blood clot which Serena thought could end her professional tennis career. After finally returning to professional tennis earlier this year she struggled losing early in her first few tournaments before winning in Stanford and then again at the Rogers Cup. The win at the Rogers Cup was especially important going forward as the US Open begins in a few weeks time. Williams next plays in Cincinnati this week to continue her warmup before the US Open.

Stephanie Dubois and Aleksandra Wozniak both won their first round matches yesterday in Toronto at the Rogers Cup.

Dubois given a wild card entry into the tournament fought hard through her first round match against German qualifier Kathrin Woerle winning the match 7-6(4) 6-1 on a rainy day in Toronto. The match was delayed due to the heavy rain falls that found its way through Ontario and parts of Quebec. In spite of the rain delays Dubois never lost her focus and continues into the second round where she faces fourth seeded Belorussian Victoria Azarenka.

Meanwhile Wozniak also given a wild card entry found it much easier then her Canadian teammate beating 23rd ranked Shahar Peer of Israel quite easily disposing of  her 6-1 6-0. Wozniak a former 21st ranked player has suffered through her fair share of injuries over the past year and a half and is just finally starting to get fully healthy again. With the win yesterday over Shahar Peer that may be just what she needs to get back on the winning ways. After beating Peer yesterday she moves onto round 2 where she faces 10th ranked Australian Samantha Stosur.
