Sofia Kenin yesterday defeated Spain’s Garbine Muguruza 4/6; 6/2; 6/2 to win her first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open. Kenin lost the first three points on serve but clawed back to deuce. Serving to stay in the match, Muguruza was taken to deuce. However, she lost the game and set on the second opportunity and the 21-year-old Sofia Kenin became the new champion. The 14th-seeded Sofia Kenin was in unfamiliar territory of a maiden major final but she fulfilled the dream she nursed as a seven-year old girl back in Russia, the country of her birth.
