Russian Maria Sharapova has won her third grand slam singles title, downing Serbia's Ana Ivanovic 7-5 6-3 in the Australian Open final.
The fifth-seeded Sharapova won the last four games of the match to claim her first title at Melbourne Park in an encounter lasting one hour and 31 minutes.
Sharapova's other grand slam triumphs came at Wimbledon in 2004 and the US Open in 2006.
It was the fourth-seeded Ivanovic's second defeat in a grand slam final, following her straight-sets defeat to Justine Henin at last year's French Open.
