Maria Sharapova won the third Grand Slam title of her career with a straight-sets win over Serbia's Ana Ivanovic at the Australian Open.
The Russian, 20, won 7-5 6-3 to add the Australian crown to victories at Wimbledon in 2004 and the 2006 US Open.
After the pair shared early breaks of serve, Sharapova moved ahead again in game 11 and served out the first set. And two breaks in the second set were enough to give Sharapova a convincing victory in one hour 31 minutes.
"This is just incredible," she said. "If someone had told me in the middle of last year I'd be standing here with the big one, I'd have said 'forget it.'
