Venus and Serena took the doubles title.


In Istanbul, Vera Dushevina won her first tour title appearing in fourth final when she defeated Lucie Hradecka 6-0, 6-1 in just 41 minutes. Hradecka's final record now goes to 0-3 with her being runners up in Bad Gaastein last year and Strousbourg this year. Vera lost in the finals of Eastbourne in 2005 and in Stockholm in 2007 and 2008 before winning the Istanbul Cup yesterday.
