The American demolished Razzano in straight sets, 64 62, making her the only woman still playing to win her 40th career title.
"I have to congratulate Virginie on such a great week - she beat so many Top 10 players and just played so well today. She really had a better week than I did," Williams said. "But it was a wonderful week for me too. I was able to win against the best player in the world in the semifinals, and I'm happy to have played such a good player in the final. I think I got a little lucky today."
"I can't compare today with Tokyo," Razzano said. "This was a new, different match. There were no easy matches here - most of the players I played were in the Top 20, Top 5 even. Venus is a real champion and played very well tonight."
"I'm so excited to move back up the rankings! It seems like forever I was in the Top 5. So much has happened since then. With God's blessing, I'll keep moving forward and closer to my goal of getting back to the top."
