Switzerland's Stanislas Wawrinka won his first Grand Slam title with victory over Rafael Nadal in the Australian Open final. The 28-year-old becomes only the second Swiss man to win a Grand Slam singles title after 17-time champion Roger Federer. He is the first man outside the 'big four' of Nadal, Federer, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray to win a Grand Slam since Juan Martin Del Potro at the 2009 US Open.
In Women’s singles, fourth seed and last year’s runner up at the Australian Open Li Na won her second Grand Slam title beating Dominika Cibulkova 7-6 (3), 6-0. With this victory she became the oldest woman to clinch the title here in the Open era and the first player from China to win Australian Open women's singles crown.
