Serena Williams once fancied herself an actress or fashion designer, often seeming to be more focused on those aspirations instead of her tennis. But after winning her fifth Sony Ericsson Open title with a 6-1 5-7 6-3 victory over Jelena Jankovic, the world no.8 admitted that for the moment she is focussing on tennis.

"Right now, tennis is my no.1 goal," said Williams. "I actually haven't done anything in acting in a while. You know, I wasn't making as much money (acting). So I got to go back to the bread and butter.

"Like I always said I love tennis."

The rekindled desire to concentrate on tennis has delivered two titles this year with the first in Bangalore in India last month, while the victory in Miami last weekend equalled Steffi Graf's record of five titles.

"It should be named the Serena and Steffi stadium," Williams joked.

"Steffi was my role model."

Men's final: Davydenko bt Nadal 6-4 6-2.
