Spoiler-Free Preview

Can Serena Continue Her Dominance?

World No. 1 Williams has absolutely dominated head-to-head competition with Sharapova in their careers. To be exact, Williams is 16-2 against her "rival."

As good as Sharapova is in several aspects of the game, Williams appears to be a tad better in each category. As it stands, it's been more than 10 years since Sharapova last defeated Williams in 2004.

All-time great Martina Navratilova believes self-doubt is a factor. Per Nick McCarvel of USA Today, Navratilova said: "The belief is down. You cannot be human and think that she doesn't have doubts after being beaten so many times in a row."

That definitely looks to be the case in the latest meetings. If Sharapova is to turn things around, she must find a way to get some confidence early. If she doesn't, she's bound to be steamrolled again.

SPOILER ALERT: DO NOT READ BEYOND THIS POINT

In much the same fashion in which Williams has dominated Sharapova in the past, she blasted her past her rival again in straight sets 6-3, 7-6 (7-5). Williams captured her 19th Grand Slam title and moved one step closer to being considered perhaps the greatest female player in the history of the sport.

With little resistance in the first set, Williams marched on to a 6-3 victory. The second set was a bit tougher as Sharapova's serve improved dramatically.

Williams leaned on her dominant serve to get the win. She had 18 aces with 15 of them coming in the decisive second set. That's extremely impressive against an opponent with a great reputation as a returner like Sharapova.

When it was over, Williams said this per the ESPN broadcast during the post-match interview:

"Growing up I went on the court with just a ball, a racket and hope. Standing here with 19 championships, I never would have imagined this."

The win ends a five-year drought at the Aussie Open for Williams. The latest triumph adds just another layer to Williams' amazing run as an elite player.
