World Number one, Serena Williams has won her sixth Australian Open and 19th Grand Slam title after defeating Maria Sharapova in the final of the Australian Open.

The 33-year old American defeated Maria Sharapova 6-3 7-6 (7-5) after the Russian fought back in the second set.

The world number one has now broken the records of Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert with a 19th major singles title.

This makes it 16 times in a row that the world number one has beaten the world number two since their first meeting in 2004.

Serena had an issue during the game that she had to take a break before she returned to overpower the world number two to clinch the Aussie title.
