On Saturday morning Serena Williams won her 10th Grand Slam singles title and regained the No. 1 ranking by routing Dinara Safina 6-0, 6-3 in the women’s final. Serena will go to the French Open on a two-Slam winning streak after taking the U.S. Open last September.

Then on Sunday morning Rafael Nadal proved he can win on any surface, solidifying his hold on the No. 1 ranking by beating Roger Federer 7-5, 3-6, 7-6 (3), 3-6, 6-2. This was after beating Fernando Verdasco in the semis in five sets that lasted an Australian Open record 5 hours, 14 minutes.

Nadal has now won five of the seven Grand Slam finals he’s played against Federer and is 13-6 overall against the Swiss star.
