Serena Williams who defeated American Madison Keys in the Semi-final was business like as usual as she crushed Russian and 2nd seed Maria Sharapova in straight sets 6-3!7-6(7-5) to win the Australaian Open title

Serena has not lost to Sharapova since 2004 a record that has spanned up to 16 meetings so it was not a surprise seeing Sharapova lose in such manner.

18th time Grand Slam champion Navratilova presented Serena with her 19th Grand slam title which sees her just three Grand Slam title short off Steffi Graph.

To the Men’s Final, Novak Djokovic secures his 5th Australian Open title having secured a 7-6(7-5),6-7(4-7),6-3,6-0 victory over 6th seed Andy Murray in three hours 38 minutes.

The Serb started the game of fire but Murray was not ready to cave in easily as he ensured he won the second set to make the game at 1 set apiece.

It was eventually won when the Scot backhand sentenced him to a fourth final loss in Melbourne Djokovic raised his arms,exhaled,smailed and pointed to his coach Boris Becker and the rest of his entourage.

Djokovic has now won the most singles title at the Australian Open in the professional era and moves past Roger Federer and Andre Agassi who has four titles.
