Li Na took advantage of her second chance at the Australian Open,[url=http://www.oksko.com/nike-free-38]Nike Free[/url].
The Chinese tennis trailblazer was a point away from exiting in the third round but survived against Lucie Safarova and didn't lose another set the rest of the tournament.
The world No. 4 beat diminutive dynamo Dominika Cibulkova 7-6 (7-3) 6-0 in Saturday's final to collect a second grand slam title following her success at the 2011 French Open.
Li also made it third time lucky in Melbourne after defeats in the 2011 and 2013 finale,[url=http://www.oksko.com/air-max-33]Billige Nike Air Max[/url].
"At least, you know, I made it," Li told reporters. "Not like the last two times, always feeling (there was) one more step. But this time I'm so proud myself."
The 31-year-old was a popular champion -- receiving the lion's share of applause when the players were introduced at Rod Laver Arena -- and likely attracted even more fans thanks to her comical post-match speech on court.
Li began by thanking her agent, Max Eisenbud, who also represents Maria Sharapova.
"Max, my agent, thanks for making me rich," said Li,[url=http://www.oksko.com/nike-shox-34]Nike Shox[/url], named last year by Forbes as the third richest female athlete in the world behind Sharapova and Serena Williams with takings of $18.2 million.
Li later mentioned her husband Jiang Shan,[url=http://www.oksko.com/]Nike Sko[/url], who in the past has been the butt of the baseliner's jokes.
"Now of course my husband is even famous in China," she said. "You are a nice guy. Also you are so lucky to find me!"
The 5-foot-3 Cibulkova was appearing in her maiden grand slam final and a victory would have made the 24th-ranked Slovakian the joint shortest singles winner at a major in the Open Era.
No one would have begrudged her the title, too, since she had topped four players inside the top 20 including Sharapova and Agnieszka Radwanska. Li,[url=http://www.oksko.com/]Nike Norge[/url], meanwhile, didn't face anyone inside the top 20.
"This was just a fantastic two weeks of my life,[url=http://www.oksko.com/nike-free-38]Billige Nike Free[/url]," said Cibulkova,[url=http://www.oksko.com/nike-free-38]Nike Free Run[/url], who cried as she addressed the crowd. "This means a lot for our country and I'm happy I could be the one here for Slovakia.
"Maybe tomorrow morning I will be 100% proud of myself," she later told reporters. "But now it's just maybe like 50%."
Expected to defeat Cibulkova -- she had won all four previous meetings with the 24-year-old -- Li proceeded to break early and took a 2-0 lead.
