The top-seeded tennis
player, Serena Williams, has won 19th grand slam title in her career
after beating second-ranked Maria Sharapova 6-3 7-6 (5) in the Australian Open
final. This latest achievement has put her behind Steffi Graf, who claimed 22
grand slam titles. There is no doubt that she will try her level best to level
or surpass Graf’s record.
It was Williams’ 16th
successive victory against her Russian rival. However, Sharapova did not
leave any stone unturned to make the match competitive from beginning to end. Though
she was suffering from fever and cough all this week, nothing could stop her
from winning another grand slam title.
It was her sixth title at Melbourne Park . With this victory, she maintained
her record of never losing at Melbourne
Park in a semifinal or
final.
