Angelique Kerber pulled off an
absolute shocker in the final of theAustralian Open on Saturday
night, upsetting Serena Williams to win her first Grand Slam
title.
Going into the final, Williams was a heavy favorite - not only
did she already have 21 Grand Slam titles to her name, including
six Australian Opens, but Kerber was playing the first Grand
Slam final of her career, and Williams had won the pair's last
four meetings, all of them in straight sets as well.
Kerber didn't really read the script, though. She was just too
solid in the first set, drawing 23 unforced errors from the Williams
racquet and breaking twice to take it, 6-4. Williams rebounded
well - she powered to a 4-1 lead in the second set, eventually
taking it, 6-3, to push the match to a third.
Kerber never stopped believing,
though. She built a 2-0 lead in the third set, and after Williams
caught up to 2-all, Kerber raced out to a 5-2 lead. The No.1-seeded
Williams very nearly caught up again - she won the next two games
and was a point away from 5-all - but the No.7-seeded Kerber
had just enough gas left in the tank to finally close the 21-time
Grand Slam champion out, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4.

Martina Hingis and Sania Mirza added
another major title to their collection on Friday, defeating
Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka, 7-6(1), 6-3, in the Australian
Open final.
Dubbed 'Santina' by their legion of fans, Hingis and Mirza have
been relentless en route to yet another major trophy, dropping
a solitary set throughout the fortnight. The co-No.1s are now
the holders of three of the four Grand Slams, having triumphed
at Wimbledon then the US Open last summer.

Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares
survived a valiant effort from Daniel Nestor and Radek Stepanek
to claim their first Grand Slam doubles titles Saturday at the
Australian Open.
Murray and Soares converted on their third championship point
at 12:58am local time in Melbourne to clinch the crown 2-6, 6-4,
7-5. For 29-year-old Murray, it was his first major title in
his third straight final, following defeats alongside John Peers
at Wimbledon and the US Open. For 33-year-old Soares, it was
also his first title, having previously fallen in the 2013 US
Open final with Alexander Peya

WTA Tournaments starting the following
week:
Tournament abbreviations
WC = wildcard
(given by the tournament to a player that could not get in on
their ranking, or did not enter in time.
PR = protected ranking. This is used when a player
has been out for a certain period of time due to injury (I think
it's at least 6 months) and their ranking slips down to where
they wouldn't get in on their current ranking.
Q = Qualifier.
A = Alternate. Used in qualifying when a player
withdraws before their first match. Also used in main draw if
there was no qualifying draw and the draw was full before the
player withdrew.
LL = Lucky loser. A player that loses in qualifying
(usually the final round unless none of the final round losers
sign the lucky loser list) and gets into main draw when a main
draw player withdraws before their first match.
SE = Special exempt. A player who signed into qualifying
of a tournament, but was still playing in the previous week's
tournament at the time the qualifying draw was done. This player
can get a special exempt into the main draw the following week. |
