PRO TENNIS Serena stands alone Williams passes Graf for most major titles in the Open era BY JOHN PYE The Associated Press

MELBOURNE, Australia — Serena Williams held up a Grand Slam winner’s trophy for the 23rd time, celebrating her unrivalled place in histo- ry, and received a congratula- tory letter and a pair of cus- tom-made shoes from Michael Jordan, the name most synon- ymous with No. 23. Venus Williams got to watch from close range again, and shed tears more of joy than regret after being beaten in a major final for the seventh time by her record-breaking younger sister. Serena won the all-Williams final, the ninth in Grand Slam history and the second in Australia, 6-4, 6-4 on Saturday night.

MELBOURNE, Australia — More than seven years after her last Grand Slam title match, Venus Williams would be forgiven for being a little nervous when she stepped inside Rod Laver Arena to face her sister, Serena, for the Australian Open championship. She embraced the occasion instead. It was Venus who was smiling during warm-ups and looked far looser at the start of Saturday’s match — not her sister, the 22-time major winner, who double-faulted three times SUDOKU in a single game to drop serve.
