Russian starlet Maria Sharapova earned her third career Grand Slam titles Saturday defeating Ana Ivanovic7-5, 6-3 to win the Australian Open women’s singles title in Melbourne.

Djokovic is in his first Australian Open final, without having lost a single set in the event so far.

Little Ali just blew Rafa off the court out there, which I expected might have happened for one set, but surely not three straight sets. And let’s be honest, Nadal was definitely not playing a poor match by […]

Who can stop the surging Serbs? Ivanovic and Jankovic are the Eastern European answer to the Williams sisters, while Novak Djokovic is shaping up to be Roger Federer’s main rival on anything but clay. All three of them have got a legitimate shot at winning their first major this week in Melbourne.
