Kenin defeats Muguruza in the OA final and wins his first major title at 21

Sometimes experience is not enough. The double title holder in Grand Slam Garbiñe Muguruza could not contain the enthusiasm of Sofia Kenin. Aged 21 and without references to this level, the American beat the Iberian in three innings 4-6, 6-2, 6-2 in the final of the Australian Open. "My dream has officially come true! If you have dreams, go get them: they can come true! ", She launched on the court receiving her first major trophy.

Kenin won the match on an 8th double fault by Muguruza, the third in this last single game. She herself did not make the slightest mistake. Previously, in the 3rd set, she had masterfully saved three consecutive break points at 2-2 by aligning five points in a row before winning her service game (3-2) and taking the throw-in for Muguruza in stride ( 4-2), already taking advantage of a double fault from the Spanish.

At 21 years and 80 days old she is the youngest winner in Melbourne since Maria Sharapova who was 20 years and 283 days old when she won in 2008.
