Kenin won her first grand slam title at the Australian Open on Saturday, rallying to beat a resurgent Garbine Muguruza 4-6 6-2 6-2 as Melbourne's fickle weather resurfaced. At 21, Kenin became the youngest women's champion at the Australian Open since her idol, Maria Sharapova, in 2008. An increasingly erratic Muguruza was undone by eight double faults, three in the final game including one long on match point. Kenin was on the back foot for the opener, though didn't appear to be overawed in her first grand slam final. Yet Muguruza didn't allow that blip to turn into an extended slide, breaking back for 5-4.
