Danish tennis player Karolin Voznyatski became the winner of the Australian Open Championship - the first large helmet series in the season, whose total prize pool is $ 43 million.

In the final match, Caroline with a score of 7: 6 (7: 2), 3: 6, 6: 4 outplayed Romanian Simon Halep. The meeting lasted almost three hours.

“Excuse me, I want to hug a trophy for a second,” said Vozniastski at the award ceremony. “I have been waiting for this moment for so long. My voice is trembling, it is difficult to restrain tears, this is a very emotional moment. I want to note that incredible support here. Fans came every day and greatly supported all the players.

I want to thank my dad, who was always there and trained me from the first day when I started playing tennis at seven years old. Thanks to my groom, David. In the morning I was very worried, but you reassured me. Many thanks to everyone who was next to me. I hope they will finally take me on the cover of Elle. "

Now, Vozniatski, six years later, will again take first place in the updated rating of the Women's Tennis Association (WTA).

This is the first victory of the 27-year-old Danish woman at the Australian Open Championship. Halep for the first time in her career reached the final of the tournament, in 2014 and 2015 she played in the quarter-finals.
