2009 Australian Open women's finals: Serena or Dinara?

After a few minutes while typing this blog entry will unfold the 2009 Australian Open women's singles finals between Serena Williams and Dinara Safina.

Who's your bet?




Let's have a look at the records of the 2 players in the table below:




































 Serena WilliamsDinara Safina
Head-to-head wins51
Year turned Pro19952001
Age2722
Career Titles329
Singles Grand Slam Wins90
2008 grand slam finals Winner: US Open; Finalist: Wimbledon Finalist: French Open

Being a huge fan of the Williams sisters, I have no doubt Serena would lift the title to make her total Grand Slam singles haul to 10; currently, she has a total of 19: including 8 in doubles and 2 in mixed.

If her Grand slam experience and records are anything to go by, Williams would easily win against Marat's younger sister. My prediction: straight sets!
