World No 1
Serena Williams came through a rain delay and a coughing fit
to show that, at 33, she still reigns supreme in women’s tennis.
The American tennis star claimed her second Grand Slam in succession
and her nineteenth in all by beating Maria Sharapova 6-3 7-6 (5) in an
interrupted and furiously competitive Australian Open final.
A wet and chilly night here was warmed by the feverish intensity
between Williams and her nearest challenger, who could not break the
American’s long running dominance over her.
