Wimbledon champion and world number six Venus Williams crushed Vera Zvonareva in straight sets to seal victory for the Team America over top seeds Team Russia in the Hong Kong World Team Challenge on Saturday.

The elder of the Williams' sisters dominated the match right from the start and comfortably won 6-2, 6-2 to give her team an unassailable 3-1 lead in the best-of-five gold group final.

This came on the back of a hard-fought 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 win for Gisela Dulko over Anna Chakvetadze after the Americas and Russia were tied at 1-1 overnight.
