This year’s Australian Open, the first major competition for the 2015 season, concluded in Melbourne, Australia. The men’s final was held February 1, and the women’s final was held January 31. British number one and World number six Andy Murray played Serbia and World number one Novak Djokovic at Rod Laver Arena. American and World number one Serena Williams played Russian and World number two Maria Sharapova.
