"Serena Supreme Down Under"

Serena Williams captured her fifth Australian Open title, ending her sequence of winning the tourna in each odd-numbered year since 2003. It gave Williams more Australian titles than any woman in the Open era and allowed her to match Billie Jean King's career total of 12 majors in singles. Serena has now won three majors in 12 months, including Wimbledon and the Australian in 2009.
