The best weapon in tennis is Serena Williams' serve. She smacks the ball with devastating ferocity and boasts peerless placement, creating a weapon that buckles opponents and prevents them from setting up any sort of offense.

So it's of little surprise, that on Saturday evening at the 2015 Australian Open in Melbourne, Williams' 18th ace of a straight-sets win over No. 2 Maria Sharapova delivered her a 19th Grand Slam title.

Williams is now second only to Steffi Graf (22 titles) for major wins in the Open Era. She passed both Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova on the Grand Slam list with that blistering ace—which came right after a let, no less—and is now 6-0 all-time in Australian Open finals.

Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star Telegram thinks it's high time we bestow Williams with another, unofficial, title:



Sharapova—now 2-17 in her career against Williams, winless since 2004—fought bravely in the second set, but she was unable to overcome her dominant opponent, succumbing 6-3, 7-6 (7-5).



Truth be told, the match felt like a foregone conclusion from the moment Williams came back from a minor rain delay to smack an ace for the first points after play resumed at 3-2 (30-30) in the first set. When Williams is on her game, she's simply undeniable.

There is just one match left in the 2015 Australian Open. World No. 1 Novak Djokovic takes on No. 6 Andy Murray in the men's championship final on Day 14. This could be a classic Big Four matchup, with both men playing easily the best tennis of the tournament. Here is a look at the schedule for the men's final, followed by a quick match preview and prediction.
