VINA DEL MAR, Chile (AP)—Juan Monaco beat Carlos Berlocq 6-3, 6-7 (1), 6-1 in an all-Argentina final at the Vina del Mar VTR Open on Sunday for his fourth ATP title.

The top-seeded Monaco claimed his first title since winning three in 2007— and all have come on clay. The victory marked a breakthrough for the 27-year-old Monaco, who lost in the final at this tournament in 2008 and 2010.

“The third time is lucky they say, so this time it’s true,” he said.

It was the first ATP final for Berlocq, who advanced after defeating second-seeded Juan Ignacio Chela, another Argentine.

Monaco started well and led 4-1 before going on to win the first set. He led 4-2 in the second and seemed headed for victory before Berlocq evened the match and won the tiebreak. Monaco returned to form in the third set and broke Berlocq twice.

Berlocq, who turned 29 on Friday, dropped only one set during the week.

The Chilean tournament is the start of a monthlong clay court swing across Latin America, with other events upcoming in Brazil, Argentina and Mexico.

WORCESTER, Mass. (AP)—Venus Williams returned from a five-month layoff and Serena Williams and Christina McHale won singles matches Sunday, sending the United States past Belarus 5-0 in the first round of the Fed Cup.
 
By blanking Belarus in World Group II, the Americans head to a playoff in April in hopes of playing their way back into the top tier of Fed Cup after getting bounced last year.
 
Venus Williams and Liezel Huber completed the shutout with a doubles victory, defeating Darya Kustova and Anastasiya Yakimova 6-1, 6-2. This was Williams’ first sanctioned match since the opening round of the U.S. Open. She had been diagnosed with Sjogren’s Syndrome, an autoimmune disease that can cause fatigue and joint pain and forced her to withdraw from the Open.

McHale won in straight sets for the second consecutive day, beating Darya Kustova 6-0, 6-1 to put the U.S. up 4-0.
 
Serena Williams had already guaranteed a U.S. victory earlier in the day by defeating Anastasiya Yakimova 5-7, 6-1, 6-1. Serena blew a 4-1 lead in the opening set and slammed her racket on the court after one point, then returned to form in the next two sets. She didn’t allow a point in two straight games of the final set, which she closed with an overhead slam.
 
“That just goes to show you how frustrate I was out there today,” she said. “I haven’t done that in a match in a long time.”
 
Top-ranked Victoria Azarenka of Belarus, the Australian Open champion, sat out all four singles matches with a back injury.
 
Venus Williams’ victory almost overshadowed the team victory, which the U.S. players celebrated with a quick parade around the court with the American flag.
 
In the first round of World Group play, Russia beat visiting Spain 3-2; Serbia won 3-2 at Belgium; Italy downed visiting Ukraine 3-2; and the Czech Republic won 4-1 at Germany.
 
Although a U.S. victory was assured after the first singles, most of the 2,279 fans at Worcester’s DCU Center stuck around through another round of singles to see Venus play. It was barely two hours before Super Bowl kickoff and for those fans, Venus’ comeback trumped seeing the start of the New England Patriots’ game against the New York Giants.
 
Fans crowded the entrance to snap photos as she strolled onto the court. One fan shouted, “Welcome back, Venus!” after warmups. That was followed by a loud round of applause and some foot-stomping when she and Huber returned from the bench to open the match.
 
Williams served first and after hitting her first attempt long, she delivered a winner on her second to start her comeback with a 15-0 lead. Williams faltered briefly the next time she served, falling behind love-40 then rallied with Huber to win the next four points then clinching the game with an ace.
 
Belarus won the first two games of the second set, then Williams and Huber reeled off six straight, ending it with Williams holding serve.

BIELLA, Italy (AP)—Flavia Pennetta shook off a sore back and paired with Roberta Vinci to secure the decisive doubles point for Italy in a 3-2 win over Ukraine on Sunday that put the country in the Fed Cup semifinals.
 
Pennetta missed the singles matches but looked sharp in a 7-5, 0-6, 6-1 win over Lesia Tsurenko and Olga Savchuk.

Italy next faces the Czech Republic in the April 21-22 semifinals.
 
Earlier Sunday, former French Open champion Francesca Schiavone rallied to beat Kateryna Bondarenko 6-7 (6), 7-5, 6-4, but Sara Errani retired midway through her match with Tsurenko to leave it tied at 2.
 
Italy won the Fed Cup in 2006, 2009 and 2010.

CHARLEROI, Belgium (AP)—Serbia relied on its second-string players to come from behind to beat Belgium 3-2 on Sunday and reach the semifinals of the Fed Cup.
 
Facing elimination, Bojana Jovanovski beat Belgium’s Kirsten Flipkens 6-2, 6-4 to level the score at 2-2. Jovanovski then teamed with Aleksandra Krunic to beat Yanina Wickmayer and Alison Van Uytvanck in the deciding doubles, 7-6 (2), 4-6, 6-1.

Serbia was without Ana Ivanovic coming into the Spiroudome this weekend and lost former No. 1 Jelena Jankovic with a left thigh injury after Saturday’s opening singles.
 
Serbia next plays Russia in the semifinals.
 
Belgium was without Kim Clijsters, who decided to sit out the tie in her farewell season.

Serena Williams says she has numerous options for her mixed doubles partner at the Olympics. "A girl loves to have choices," she told reporters at Fed Cup. "Obviously the Bryans are like the world's best doubles players. Andy [Roddick] and I are super, super close. Personally I love John [Isner]. You're not going to break the guy. It's an automatic I-don't-know-how-many games. I think it's so hard to choose. I don't know if you just throw everyone's name in a hat and figure out what happens next. Regardless, we want to do really well and take home a medal for the country. That's what it's all about."

ZAGREB, Croatia (AP)—Mikhail Youzhny beat Lukas Lacko 6-2, 6-3 on Sunday to win the Zagreb Indoors in his 18th career final.
 
It was the first title for the 29-year-old Russian since St. Petersburg in 2010.

Youzhny faced no break points and lost only 12 points on serve during the 68-minute match.
 
After both players won opening service games, Youzhny won eight of nine games, winning the first set and three games in the second.
 
Lacko then kept his serve until the end of the match but could not challenge Youzhny.
 
“This was my best match of the tournament,” Youzhny said. “I gained some confidence here but I don’t want to think about whether I will be in the top 10 again or not.”
 
Playing in his first final, Lacko admitted he was “dismissed badly.”
 
Lacko reached the third round at the Australian Open as a qualifier, but was ousted by Spaniard Rafael Nadal. He had never previously advanced beyond the quarterfinals at an ATP event.
