Serena Williams defeated Maria Sharapova 6-1, 6-2 in just over an hour to win her 3rd Australian Open title (2003, 2005, 2007) and eighth Grand Slam championship overall, placing her 10th on the all-time great list, (one behind Monica Seles). Serena played at a level rarely seen before, handing the new World #1 female tennis player her worst loss ever at a Grand Slam tournament, hitting 28 winners to 11 unforced errors. Starting the tournament ranked #81, Serena will rise to #14 on Monday. Who knows how high she will rise by the end of the year?
