Wonderful win for Venus 3 and love.
A great sportswoman and person

I'm happy...and amazed. Venus has won her first Dubai tournament in 4 years,
6-3, 6-0 over Alize Cornet.

While her first serve % was not great, every other facet of her game was
excellent, no sequences of spraying shots, no forehand going off, no signs of Sjogerns tiring. Venus is not particularly known as dominant in long rallies, but vs Alize--a very good mover and counter puncher--Venus held her own. I wish her all the best.

Did anyone else get the feeling that Serena threw her match so she did not have to play Venus?

Yup that's what happened
