Serena Williams defeated Justine Henin to win her fifth Australian Open title and become the first woman to repeat as champion since 2002.
The win gives 28-year-old Serena 12 Grand Slam singles titles, tying her with fellow American Billie Jean King for sixth place on the career list. "Billie, we're tied, so I've reached my goal," Williams said, looking up at Billie Jean King in the stands after accepting the winner's trophy from Court.
