Maria Sharapova had little time to digest her 6-3, 7-6(5) loss in the final of the Australian Open against Serena Williams, with the Russian finalist flying out of Melbourne at the weekend and back to the European winter. The No. 2 who suffered her 16th straight loss to Serena in the Australian Open final, is playing Fed Cup for Russia in Krakow against Poland.
Novak Djokovic became the second man in history to win five Australian Open titles when he defeated Andy Murray 76(3) 67(4) 63 60 in the men’s final on Rod Laver Arena. Only Roy Emerson had previously won more titles, winning six between 1961 and 1967.

It should have been an epic. It really should have been. This Global Chick has said it before – sometimes you see the best fights in the semi-finals.
