MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Germany’s Angelique Kerber has defeated six-time champion Serena Williams in three sets on Saturday to win her first major title in the Australian Open final in Melbourne.

Kerber, seeded seventh, beat world number one Williams 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 in two hours and eight minutes. The win moves the 28-year-old German to the No.2 ranking.
