Serena Williams defeated Justine Henin to win her fifth Australian Open title and become the first woman to repeat as champion since 2002.
The top-seeded Williams had 12 aces as she defeated the unranked Belgian 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 at Rod Laver Arena to move to 5-0 in finals at the season-opening tennis Grand Slam.
The victory gives the 28-year-old Williams 12 Grand Slam singles titles, tying her with fellow American Billie Jean King for sixth place on the career list and leaving her halfway to Margaret Court’s record 24 championships.
“Billie, we’re tied, so I’ve reached my goal,” Williams said, looking up at King in the stands after accepting the winner’s trophy from Court.
Williams, who fought back from 6-4, 4-0 down in her quarterfinal against No. 7 seed Victoria Azarenka of Belarus, improved her record at Melbourne Park to 51-6 to become the first woman to repeat as Australian Open champion since Jennifer Capriati in 2002.
