Serena Williams may have the No. 1 ranking, but Victoria Azarenka has the Qatar Total Open trophy for the second straight year.
The top two players in the world battled for three sets on Sunday night, with the Belarusian prevailing 7-6 (8-6), 2-6, 6-3 in an entertaining contest.
Azarenka, who won her second straight Australian Open last month, came into the final a prohibitive underdog despite having not lost a set this week.
