Serena matched at 26 as she wins her 12th Slam

Serena Williams won the Australian Open after being matched at a high of 26 on Betfair.

The World Number One was matched at this price on the winner market when a set and 4-0 down against Victoria Azarenka in the quarter-finals but she recovered to win that match and went on to beat the unseeded Justine Henin in the final over three sets.

Henin was matched at a low of 1.3 for the tournament when she was carrying all the momentum in the third set and had two break points to go 2-0 up but Serena showed why she’s now won 12 Grand Slam titles, including five Aussie Opens, by fighting back and comfortably taking the deciding set 6-2.
