Serena Williams won her 19th Grand Slam title, continued her
unbeaten run in six Australian Open finals and extended her decade-
long domination of Maria Sharapova with a 6-3, 7-6 (5) win on
Saturday.
After celebrating prematurely on her third match point, letting her
racket go after serving what she thought was an ace but learning
that it was a let, top-ranked Williams took a deep breath and fired
another ace — her 15th of the set and 18th of the match — to seal
it.
This time, the celebration was real. She jumped around like a little
child, bouncing up and down, before shaking hands with Sharapova
at the net.
