Serena Williams smashed a racket and tossed away seven match points before finally winning 6-1 5-7 6-3 against Jelena Jankovic to successfully defend her Miami Masters crown.
Eighth-seeded Williams was struggling to control her private rage at the end of the two-hour, 25-minute final, which she twice failed to serve out.
She finally got lucky on her third opportunity, screaming as she finished with an emphatic overhead smash.  Serena took out her main rival Justine Henin on her way to the Miami title as

she showed improved fitness and tremendous desire to win her 5th career title in Miami.
