This article highlights the 2005 Australian Open, including the victories of Serena Williams and Marat Safin. The Australian Open championship that Williams won last Saturday, after beating three of the four top seeds, may have been the most meaningful title of her colorful career. Beyond effectively reclaiming the top spot in her sport and adding to her haul of Grand Slam singles trophies (now seven), winning her first major since her sister Yetunde's death was a big step in her grief therapy. Her triumph had other consequences as well. It issued a sharp rejoinder to critics in the tennis salon who have long carped about her on-again, off-again commitment to the sport.

He was the youngest player ever to reach the top ranking, in November 2000, yet at the start of 2004 he was perilously close to falling out of the top 100.
