Even after big sister Venus’s defeat by Spanish Carla Suarez Navarro in the fourth day of play, Serena Williams dug deep and made it to the Australian Open finals. Number two ranked Serena played the final against number three, Russia’s Dinara Safina. Not to say total domination, but Serena quickly defeated Dinara in straight sets (6-0, 6-3). Their match lasted for just over an hour.
On the other end, the men’s finals were played between number two ranked Roger Federer and the Spanish native that took his number one spot, Rafael Nadal. Though not the first time the two met in a grand slam final (six times in all), it must have been the longest—well over four hours. Nadal showed exactly why he is currently ranked number one, beating Federer in five sets (7-5, 3-6, 7-6 , 3-6, 6-2).
