2009 Australian Open Winner

Rafael Nadal accepted his Australian Open trophy from the legendary Rod Laver on Sunday night – and is well on the way to becoming a giant of the game himself.

He won the Australian Open, becoming the first Spaniard to do so. He joined an elite group of just 12 men who have managed to win three Grand Slam titles on three different surfaces since the Open Era began.

Nadal had somehow conjured up the heart and the physical puff to go toe to toe with Federer for four hours and 23 minutes and then, with the clock standing at 12.14am, Nadal won 7-5 3-6 7-6(3) 3-6 6-2 and was crowned as the new king of Melbourne Park.

How he had managed to do it was beyond anyone's comprehension. Less than 48 hours earlier, he had staggered off court at well after 1am at the end of a five hour 14 minute epic with Fernando Verdasco. At the very same time, Federer had been sound asleep after getting an extra day off. Yet here was Nadal again, winning the battle of the muscles, the tactics and, most crucially of all, the nerves to beat Federer again, his 13th victory in 19 meetings and his fifth victory over the Swiss in seven meetings in Grand Slam finals.

2008 Australian open Grand Slam Tennis Winners

Novak Djokovic from Serbia, the 3rd ranked player in the world has toppled sentimental favourite Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in 4 sets to win his first Grand Slam final at the Australian Open at the age of 20.

Neither Sharapova, nor Ivanovic played great tennis, and at the end of the day it was the player that made the least unforced error who triumphed, and that was the fifth seed, Maria Sharapova. Maria Sharapova wins her third Grand Slam title, taking out Ana Ivanovic in the final of the Australian Open.
