Azarenka beats Li - wins Australian Open Women's Singles Title [Watch Screen Shots]

A tearful, yet happy Azarenka hold Australian Open Trophy for the second consecutive time Saturday, 26 January 2013

What a match it was today when world no.1 and the defending champion Victoria Azarenka came to defend her title against world no.6 Chinese Li Na at the Rod Laver Arena. And she really did it at the end despite losing the first set.

A match that started with complete domination of Li in the first set, changed its complexion when Azarenka bounced back to take the second set.

As for the third set,  Azarenka breaks to open third set, just as she did in the first and second. Azarenka takes Li serve and leads 1-0 - and then gives her game. 1-1 And from then on it was a battle for the title.

 

 

But midway the match was interrupted by a beautiful fireworks which illuminated the Melbourne sky with red, yellows and greens.

When the players returned, right on the first point Li Na stumbled and fell on her back hitting her head on the court. She looked worried but medics soon got her over the pain and brought her back to the game.

 And from 2-1 in the third set, the match went over into Azarenka's control who finally won it 4-6, 6-4, 6-3.

 

 

 

-->
Congratulations Azarenka for successfully defending your 2012 title and happy start with a Grand Slam and maintaining your world no.1 position for long now.
