Third seeded Belarusian Victoria Azarenka overpowered former World No. 1 and 2008 Aussie Open Champion Maria Sharapova to win her first grand slam title. Azarenka lost first two games of the  match and it looked that she might lose it to occasional pressure of being in the first time in grand slam title but contrary to that she bounced back strongly and start bombarding  Sharapova with heavy ground-strokes. She stepped on the accelerator in the second set and brushed aside  Sharapova to win  Australian Open 2012.
