Day 13 saw the finals of the Girls', Boys' and Women's singles as well as the Men's doubles.

Ana Konjuh, who had already won the Girls' Doubles with partner Belinda Bencic, defeated Kateřina Siniaková in straight sets to take the Girls' singles title. In doing so Konjuh took the No. 1 junior ranking.[134]

Also in straight sets, Australian Nick Kyrgios defeated compatriot Thanasi Kokkinakis to take the Boys' Singles title having not lost a set all tournament. Scans the previous day had discovered a stress fracture in the left side of Kokkinakis' back, and his movement during the final was reported to be evidently hampered.[135]

In the Women's final, due to her controversial medical time-out in her semifinal match, defending champion Victoria Azarenka's reception onto the Rod Laver Arena was much more subdued than that of her opponent Li Na. The opening set saw seven breaks of serve in total, with Li Na winning 6–4. During the second set, with Azarenka 3–1 up, Li twisted her left ankle and called the first of two 10-minute medical time-outs. Li was not able to undo her opponent's advantage, Azerenka won the set 6–4 to level the match. The match was also interrupted at the beginning of the third set due to Australia Day fireworks. Li rolled her left ankle once again on the first point after play resumed, this time also heavily knocking the rear of her head on the court, thus incurring another 10-minute medical time-out. Azarenka broke in the fifth game and maintained the advantage to take the set 6–3 and win the match two sets to one.[136]

The victory was Azarenka's second Australian Open title. In post-match interviews she declared that "This one is way more emotional".[136]

Top seeds Bob and Mike Bryan defeated Robin Haase and Igor Sijsling to claim their 6th Men's Doubles Australian Open title and their 13th Grand Slam, surpassing John Newcombe and Tony Roche's record for the most doubles majors. Though Haase and Sijsling broke the serve in the opening game, the match was won by the Bryans in straight sets.[137]
