Venus Williams Nabs Wuhan Tennis Open

Venus Williams won the Wuhan Open on Saturday when her Spanish opponent, fifth-seeded Garbine Muguruza, retired with a left ankle injury while trailing 6-3, 3-0. It was the unseeded Williams' 47th WTA singles title.

"It's not easy when you don't play your best," Williams told Muguruza. "I probably didn't have a chance if you felt well."

Muguruza said she was "very sorry" at having to retire.

Williams had to rally from 5-3 down in the third set of her quarterfinal to beat British qualifier Johanna Konta, and she saved a match point during a 5-7, 6-2, 7-6 (4) semifinal win over Roberta Vinci.
