Australian Open: Angelique Kerber Stuns Serena Williams To Win Women's Final by paiz: 12:57pm On Jan 30, 2016 |
Kerber, ranked sixth in the world and seeded seventh at Melbourne Park, claimed her first major singles title with a 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 defeat of Williams, who was chasing a seventh Australian Open crown. The 28-year-old becomes the first German to win a women's major singles final since Steffi Graf claimed the French Open in 1999. An emotional Kerber said it had been a lifelong dream to win a major. "My whole life I was working really hard and now I am here and I can say I am a grand slam champion," she said at the post-match presentation ceremony. "So it sounds really crazy and unbelievable. Of course I would like to say thank you to my team, to my team who are supporting me like my whole life, my family." cc: lalasticlacla do the needful
