What Happened?

Just when it looked as if Sunday's men's final would have to be played indoors, the skies cleared and the retractible roof opened.

• Top-seeded Roger Federer captured his fourth Australian Open title with a 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (11) victory over fifth-seeded Andy Murray. The result upped Federer's record career haul to 16 major titles -- and extended Great Britain's 74-year drought without a men's Grand Slam champion. (HIGHLIGHTS)

• Earlier, the top-seeded team of Leander Paes and Cara Black won the mixed doubles title with a 7-5, 6-3 win over Ekaterina Makarova and Jaroslav Levinsky. It was the second Grand Slam mixed doubles title for the Paes-Black team after their 2008 U.S. Open triumph.
