Serena Williams wins Australian Open Tennis singles trophy

Australia, Feb 01 (ANI): Serena Williams posed with her trophy after she won the 19th Grand Slam in Melbourne, with a victory over Maria Sharapova in the final of the Australian Open. It was Williams' sixth title at Melbourne Park and it moved her into a tie with fellow American Helen Wills Moody in third on the all-time list after she joined Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert on 18 at last year's US Open. William's had been battling a cold and cough the entire tournament, so was reluctant to head out and celebrate after her win. Williams said she hopes she can be a good role model for children.

It was the first time the pair, who were seeded seventh, had played together at a grand slam. Feb 1, 2015
