All-Time Australian Open Women's Singles Winners List, historic champions since 1922
The Australian Open is the first Grand Slam International tennis tournament held annually and first competition was organized in 1905 and played on outdoor hard courts at Melbourne Park in Melbourne, Australia, while the inaugural women's tournament started in 1922 and to date.
Madison Keys defeated No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka to win the Australian Open on Saturday, an upset that will bring significant joy to American tennis fans who have watched Keys grow from 14-year-old prodigy to 29-year-old veteran who had previously experienced her share of Grand Slam disappointments.
This time, though, the 19th-seeded Keys played brave and accurate tennis when she needed it most, powering to a 6-3, 2-6, 7-5 victory for her first major title and denying Sabalenka her third straight Australian Open.
Osaka edged a tight first set but controlled the second to win 6-4, 6-3 in 77 minutes in front of thousands of fans at Rod Laver Arena.
