Shaky Serena Beats Jankovic For Title

Serena Williams screamed at herself, broke her racket and then finally finished off Jelena Jankovic 6-1, 5-7, 6-3 for her fifth title at the Sony Ericsson Open today. Williams survived some tense moments in the last set and an improbable comeback by Jankovic, who trailed 5-3 in the second set. Williams closed out the elusive victory on her eighth championship point with an overhead slam.

"I thought I had like 15 match points. I'm glad to know it wasn't," Williams said. "I got tight. I guess you can classify that as nervous." Williams won for the second year in a row and matched Steffi Graf's record of five women's titles at Key Biscayne. She's 14-1 this year, with her only loss to Jankovic in the quarterfinals at the Australian Open. (More Pro tennis stories.)
