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.
