5 matches we would love to watch at this year's Australian Open

#3 Serena Williams vs Angelique Kerber

Kerber is the current Australian Open champion

When it can happen - Final

Fans can sense a rivalry brewing between the two; a much-needed one, too. The WTA has been devoid of a competitive rivalry for a long time now, with Serena dominating season after season.

Kerber beating Serena in a well-contested final of the Australian Open last year was a very pleasant surprise for all WTA fans. And the fact that Serena took up the challenge and went on to beat Kerber in the final of the Wimbledon augurs well for the future.

Those two matches were arguably the two best WTA matches of 2016, quality-wise. The German's counter-punching style of tennis perfectly complements the American's attacking style. Fans will definitely be rooting for a repeat of last year's final this time.
