Shocker in Australia! Serena Williams denied chance to make Grand Slam history

Women’s Tennis world number one, Serena Williams will have to wait a little longer to make Grand Slam history after she tasted a bitter defeat in the hands of her German counterpart –Angelique Kerber.

The American, who was a heavy favorite in this morning’s Australian Open final, was beaten by the German 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 in a tense, thrilling match that lasted two hours and nine minutes.

The 34-year-old Williams remains stuck at 21 Grand Slam singles titles, one fewer than Steffi Graf, who holds record for the most major singles titles in the Open era, which began in 1968. Margaret Court holds the all-time record for major singles titles, with 24.

Kerber, a 28-year-old German playing in her first Grand Slam final, frustrated Williams with speed, defense, well-placed serves and passing shots that touched line after line.
