Serena Williams wins 6th Australian, 19th major title

Serena Williams won her 19th Grand Slam title, continued her unbeaten run in six Australian Open finals and extended her decade-long domination of Maria Sharapova with a 6-3, 7-6 (5) victory despite a hacking cough on Saturday night.
After celebrating prematurely on her third match point, letting her racket go before hearing a let call to what she thought was an ace,

Williams had to quickly re-gather her composure.

"I thought, 'Wow this is it, I did it, only to hear let. I was like, 'OK Serena!'" she said. "I was very disappointed, because Maria was playing so well.

I thought she's going to try to hit a winner now. She's goes for broke on match point."
Top-ranked Williams took a deep breath and fired another ace — her 15th of the set and 18th of the match — and this time the celebration was real.

She jumped around like a little child, bouncing up and down, before shaking hands with Sharapova at the net.

"I'm so honored to be here tonight and to hold this 19th trophy @ my favorite stadium," Williams said.
