She deserved to win the title for that 2-2 game in third set alone.

[@kevinlakeman5043]

It was a very worthy final for a major. Exceptional play in general, with genuine moments of sublime play to add to the very real intensity of the match. Kenin was so mature in her approach to this tournament, and incredibly composed in the biggest moments. Muguruza was a terrific player for years, and it took an elite performance from the 21 yr. old to beat the two-time major winner.

Sofia Kenin you are the force to be reckoned with by all these top womens' tennis players. Keep doing what you love and stay humble but fierce, then I don't have doubts that you will win all the four grand slams. Always practice because practice makes perfect.

Kenin made errors as well , she is stronger in the clutch not everyone has that .

There were others before and after , but that Stuck in my mind since it was a Grand Slam tournament . Nervous wreck and unable to just think about the present moment . I saw once Sofia got the second set -and as she started losing in 3rd set , body language - already thinking that she may not win , reality set in .

I like that Kenin’s game appears to be more based on building a point rather than just slugging it out.

[@cathexis1325]

If you watch all Kenin's matches thru the AO it's a lesson in mental toughness. She was down breaks and behind in scores the whole tournament but she always found a way to pull back into the lead. Reminds me of Kerber 3 yrs. ago. No big weapons but plenty of smarts and guts. Hope she develops one or two other weapons because winning like she does takes a toll on you mentally and physically after awhile...just ask Angelique Kerber and Jim Courier.

[@cathexis1325]

@@markuse3472 I don't see how you can argue with the evidence of Sofia's mental toughness. Garbines for sure made some errors but many of them were not unforced. I assure you my admiration for Sofia came not from prejudice but from reviewing all her matches on tennis channel. I was actually hoping Gabine would win especially after coming back from a hard couple of years. She seems like a good, sensitive person in a sport full of warped egos. But anyway, as you say, "mental toughness " is a subjective opinion. Time will tell if she's really tough or the stars aligned for her this year in Melbourne.

If his daughter is losing, he moves to a seat right next to the coach of the opposing player without social distancing. This disturbs the tennis opponent of Kenin so much that she starts getting distracted and the opponent starts losing against Kenin.
