Andre Agassi crushed German Rainer Schuettler 6-2, 6-2, 6-1 today to win his fourth Australian Open title and eighth Grand Slam crown.
The 32-year-old American overpowered the 31st German seed with relentless pressure.
Schuettler's game disintegrated under the pressure as Agassi cruised to victory in just 76 minutes.
Agassi broke the German's service eight times in one of the easiest wins in an Australian Open final.
It was Agassi's record-breaking 21st consecutive win at the Australian Open, one more than two-time champion Ivan Lendl.
Agassi became only the fourth man to win four Australian Open titles, behind Australians Roy Emerson (6), Jack Crawford (4) and Ken Rosewall (4).
His last defeat in Melbourne was in the fourth round of the 1999 Open to fellow American Vince Spadea.
Only five players in history have won more Grand Slam singles titles than Agassi.
Pete Sampras leads that race with 14 from Roy Emerson (12), Bjorn Borg (11), Rod Laver (11) and Bill Tilden (10).
