Australian Open Tennis - 2009 - Women's Final: Highlights

Logo for Australian Open Tennis - 2009 - Women's Final: Highlights

Sue Barker hosts highlights from the women's singles final at the Australian Open in Melbourne. Maria Sharapova beat Ana Ivanovic of Serbia in straight sets last year, but the Russian has not won a Grand Slam event since, with a long-term shoulder problem hampering her preparations for the defence of her crown. With four different women winning last year's majors, none of which included current world number one Jelena Jankovic, the first Grand Slam of this year promises to be an open one. One thing guaranteed is history being made, with the women's final being played under floodlights for the first time. Commentary comes from Chris Bailey and Sam Smith.
