Azarenka wins Australian Open women's title

Tennis Betting Lines

01/28/2012 - Melbourne, Australia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Victoria Azarenka became a first-time Grand Slam titlist Saturday with a convincing straight-set victory over Maria Sharapova in the Australian Open women's final.

The third-seeded Azarenka downed Sharapova 6-3, 6-0 at Rod Laver Arena to run her winning streak to a personal-best 12 matches after claiming the Sydney championship before the year's first major. She will achieve another first in her career, ascending to No. 1 in the world rankings on Monday -- dethroning Caroline Wozniacki.

Azarenka improved to 3-0 in hardcourt finals against the 24-year-old Sharapova, whose last major title came at the 2008 Aussie Open. The fourth- seeded Russian was also the Aussie runner-up in 2007.

The 22-year-old Belarusian, who was making her debut in a Grand Slam final, became the youngest champion at Melbourne Park since Sharapova. Azarenka dropped only two sets throughout the entire fortnight en route to her 10th career title.
