Serena Williams beat sister, Venus, in straight sets to win her seventh Australian Open and an Open-era record 23rd Grand Slam singles title.
Serena overcame a shaky start to land an unprecedented seventh Open title and open-era record 23 grand slam singles crown with an emotional 6-4 6-4 triumph on Saturday.
The all-conquering American not only eclipsed German great Steffi Graf’s modern-day mark of 22 grand slam titles, but also regained the world No.1 ranking she’d relinquished to Angelique Kerber last September.
