Serena Williams has been crowned champion of the 2013 Rogers Cup presented by National Bank in Toronto, as fans at Rexall Centre saw the 16-time Slam winner exert her dominance over Romanian Sorana Cirstea 6-2, 6-0 in the final on Sunday.
The win has earned Williams her third Rogers Cup championship, the first two coming in 2011 and 2001, also in Toronto. For Cirstea, the loss ends her incredible run at this year’s event, which saw her knock out two former world No. 1s and two former Slam champions en route to the final.
