Serena Williams has secured an Open-era record 23rd grand slam title by beating her older sister Venus to become Australian Open champion.
Before the match started, no one could decide just who they wanted to win out of the two much-loved sisters.
I don't even know who I want to win this. #SerenavsVenus

Venus got off to a strong start, whereas Serena seemed a little nervous.

Literally, look at the passion…
As the game progressed, it became clear that Serena was on her way to winning – which meant that she was finally going to beat Steffi Graf’s 22 Gland Slam title record.

Serena now stands just one Gland Slam short of Margaret Court’s all-time best of 24.That celebration though…
