DAY 13 – AUSTRALIAN
OPEN
Some hard and unsympathetic
tennis from Serena Williams saw her win the Grand Slam for the 19th
time. This was also her 6th Australian Open win.
Women’s Singles (Finals)
Serena rode on the strength of
her serves and aces to finish off the final in staright sets against the second
seed Maria Sharapova. Despite some exhilarating returns and long rallies, Sharapova
was found wanting to break into Serena’s serve. 33 year old Serena thus became
the oldest women to compete and win in the finals of the Australian Open.
Serena (1) defeated Sharapova (2)
(6-3; 7-6)
Men’s Doubles (Finals)
The Italian pair of Bolelli and
Foginini scripted a hugely deserved victory for themselves. They were playing
against the pair of Herbert and Mahut
Bolelli/Fognini defeated Herbert/Mahut
(6-4; 6-4)
Tomorrow at Melbourne
The men’s singles final between Djokovic
and Murray and mixed’s doubles final between Paes/Hingis and Mladenovic/Nestor
