Stosur wins, returns to Top 10

Stosur rolled to a 6-0, 6-3 victory over Vera Zvonareva in Sunday's title final in earning her second WTA championship and a return to the No. 10 spot in the world rankings.

She had been knocked to No. 11 two weeks ago by the rapid ascendancy of Kim Clijsters but regained the No. 10 ranking by 85 points after the win in Charleston, S.C.

The rest of the world women's Top 10 remained the same as last week with Serena Williams, who announced a return to play in next month's Italian Masters, holding the top spot. Williams had been idled by a knee injury.

Caroline Wozniacki is No. 2 followed by, in order, Dinara Safina, Venus Williams and Svetlana Kuznetsova.

Elena Dementieva is sixth with Jelena Jankovic in seventh, Agnieszka eighth and Victoria Azarenka in the No. 9 slot.
