Venus Defends Dubai Title; 42nd of Career

Venus Williams defeated Victoria Azarenka 6-3 7-5 to defend her title in Dubai, the 42nd of her illustrious tennis career. Venus now leads all active players on the tour with the most titles, surpassing recently un-retired Justine Henin's total of 41, although the two are tied with 7 Grand Slam titles each.

Venus recently became the second player in history to earn more than $25 million in career prize money, following her sister Serena Williams, who with her win at this year's Australian Open is now well over $30 million.
