- Japanese player prevails 6-4, 6-3 at Melbourne Park
Naomi Osaka overpowered Jennifer Brady to win the Australian Open for a second time, racing to a 6-4, 6-3 victory against the 22nd seed at Melbourne Park.
The world No 1 was not at her scintillating best in tricky conditions, but strong hitting was enough to win a crucial break at 5-4 in the first set as Brady struggled with her ball toss.
