Maria Sharapova (5) of Russia defeated Ana Ivanovic (4) of Serbia in the finals of the 2008 Australian Open Women’s Singles in straight sets 7-5, 6-3 clinching her third Grand Slam title. Maria Sharapova went through the entire 2008 Australian Open without dropping a set to an opponent, and was impressive all throughout, booking wins against World No. 1 Justine Henin of Belgium and No. 3 seed Jelena Kankovic.
Maria Sharapova’s 2008 Australian Open title redeems her loss in the 2007 Australian Open finals last year when Sharapova was dominated by Serena Williams 6-1, 6-2.
The only Grand Slam title that eludes Maria Sharapova is the French Open, which she hopes to win this year some time between mid-May and early June when the 2008 French Open kicks off.

It’s the 2008 Australian Open Finals! Jo-Wilfried Tsonga vs. Novak Djokovic. France vs. Serbia. Unseeded vs. No. 3. The Slayer of World No. 2 vs. The Executioner of World No. 1.
The pictures on this blog may look like it’s a boxing match, but trust us, this is tennis. This is 2008 Australian Open Men’s Singles, and this is The Finals!
The unseeded Jo-Wilfriend Tsonga of France will try to write something memorable for tennis history as he hopes to become one of the rare unseeded tennis players who wins a Tennis Grand-Slam Tournament should he win the finals of the 2008 Australian Open Men’s Singles. It’s something that definitely hasn’t happened in a long time, and Tsonga could be in for a lot of headlines and, of course, history. But first things first. Tsonga has to get past No. 3 seed Novak Djokovic of Serbia, and that is not an easy task.

No. 5 seed Maria Sharapova of Russia and No. 4 seed Ana Ivanovic of Serbia will be facing off at the Finals of the 2008 Australian Open Women’s Singles tournament, and the winner will be crowned the 2008 Australain Open Women’s Singles Champion.
Definitely, the finals of the 2008 Australian Open will feature the two hottest women in tennis. Hot – not only because they look great, but hot because they are indeed on a great streak of tennis for them to be in the finals.
Odds makers are favoring Maria Sharapova to win, just because she’s shown more consistency throughout the tournament while Ana Ivanovic almost slipped up her semi-final match against Daniela Hantuchova by giving up the first set 6-0, and giving up the first 8 games of the semi-final match. However, Ana Ivanovic bounced back and maintained her focus to beat Daniela Hantuchova to make it to the finals.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga Is On Fire!
Unseeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France was a stray underdog to win the semi-final match against No. 2 seed and World No. 2 Rafael Nadal of Spain. Sure, Tsonga was able to get through his fellow Frenchman No. 8 seed Richard Gasquet, then he breezed through the No. 14 seeded Russian Mikhail Youzhny in the quarter-finals. But then, to oust the World No. 2 Rafael Nadal in straight sets 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 is just a remarkable feat for Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
