Sofia Kenin vs Garbiñe Muguruza Full Match | Australian Open 2020 Final

At first look, a Grand Slam women’s final between Sofia Kenin - a player ranked outside the top 10 who has never been beyond the fourth round at a major - and world No.32 Garbine Muguruza could be considered as unexpected as they come.
But dive a little deeper, and it begins to make a lot more sense.
The Australian Open 2020 women’s decider pits a two-time Grand Slam champion in Muguruza against one of the game’s most in-form, fastest-rising stars in Kenin.
When Muguruza dropped the first set 0-6 to Shelby Rogers in the first round - still suffering the effects of a virus that forced her to withdraw from Hobart - nobody could have foreseen the progress she would eventually make. After recovering to beat the American and then surviving Ajla Tomljanovic in three, Muguruza switched into “Muguruthless” mode, steamrolling top-10 opponents Elina Svitolina and Kiki Bertens. She beat Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the quarters to set up a semifinal against fourth seed Simona Halep, who she beat for her third top-10 win of the Australian Open fortnight. She has now won nine consecutive sets at Melbourne Park.
While Kenin made slightly under-the-radar progress to the fourth round without the loss of a set, it was at this stage she captured attention with her three-set win over Coco Gauff at Melbourne Arena - ending the 15-year-old’s fairytale AO2020 run. After beating Ons Jabeur in the quarters, she stunned world No.1 Ash Barty at Rod Laver Arena in the semifinals, and as a result became a trending topic on Twitter in Australia.

3rd set, 2 all, 40 luv down. 3 straight winners, an ace and another winner to hold. nobody can argue that’s just insane 👌

[@roybaty7439]

And Mugu wasn't playing badly at that time.

[@bqnanaaa4838]

Roy Baty yes. I do think Muguruza could have done something, because I think she had 2 second serves, and she didn’t really do anything with them. Once kenin extends the rallies, it tipped in her favor.

[@roybaty7439]

@@bqnanaaa4838 Mugu started playing aggressively once Kenin got to 30-40. She did everything she could from then on and was hitting well, deep into the corners but Kenin just played better. Maybe at 0-40 and 15-40 Mugu could have been more aggressive but since Kenin had errors her first 3 points, why not wait for another (which never came).

[@markuse3472]

@@bqnanaaa4838 I agree. Garbine could and should have performed better. Not taking anything way from Sofia's game, just saying Garbine did not play the second and third sets her usual fashion.

[@velekorunoski5997]

1:48:16 this game is the most important game of the final, Sofia has a true champions mind, to get out of that pressure and win the next 3 games for the title is Novak Djokovic like, salute to her for this play

When I need inspiration I watch game 5 of the third set.

[@speabody]

The shot at 2:01:04 to set up the winner is sick. It's so good that you forget that she just used the same shot--twice--to set up the winner in her previous service game, the iconic comeback at 2-2 1:53:34

[@Cavalier.440]

Sonya, serving, down love 40, tied two all third set, the game changer of the match and the best of the short 2020 tennis season.

[@MohammadAli-ij5fp]

Sofia kenin is the new tennis sensation.

[@arnoldamaral3814]

You think 🤔🤷

[@fundhund62]

She should learn to volley, and add a bit of variety to her game. As it is right now, she is way too one-dimensional to really make an impact on the tour.

Its not easy to greet your opponent with a smile after loosing the final.

[@angelatanurdzic7508]

Great performance.Congrats to Sofia 👏🏆🎉❤️

[@trommelbiel]

Sofia always plays so relaxedly.

[@speabody]

Is there a reason the crowd is so muted by the end? These are some of the mildest cheers I've ever heard for a champion closing it out. Do they dislike her or just really like her opponent?

[@arealoldname8461]

I would guess because it ended on a double fault, which is a 'flat' way to end a match.

[@roobookaroo]

Names of the two commentators, please. Their voices sound so familiar, but their names are never mentioned. This should be a mandatory announcement at some point of the video, n'est ce pas, mate? As an aside, no doubt, one of the pleasures of this exciting video is to get the very insightful comments of the lady commentator whose melodious voice has the charm of plunging us easily into the Australian ambiance of the match..

[@roybaty7439]

They mentioned their names at the beginning Louise Flemming (I think is the woman who was pulling for Mugu) but all in all these Aussie announcers were much better than the American Tennis channel announcers.

[@roybaty7439]

I think the man (Peter) was pretty impartial and gave good comments about Kenin, better than the American tennis channel announcers

[@markuse3472]

I love Kenin and wish she would start doing better, but Garbine is my girl and I wish she would have won this. Kenin winning has absolutely Nothing to do with "a true champions mind" as a brainless comment says, like no one else wants to win and be champion. Things simply happen. Congrats to Sofia.

[@Cavalier.440]

The announcer, she can't make three shots in a row it's statistically impossible, Sonya made five ! 🤭

[@ricksteven2155]

I wonder if it was Venus or Serena on the other side would Garbine have had more fight in her? Seems like she went for broke against the two of them. Kenin and Osaka fight no matter who's on the other side.

[@roybaty7439]

Actually Kenin seems to play better against the established stars, is less motivated if she's expected to win, but always seems to fight back when she's down.

[@sportedits464]

Good match overall it was close

[@joelgascon8357]

Really sad to see that one won due to many unforced errors…

Simple prediction, Kenin Sofia is going to become the new #1 player in the world soon. Her game is just way too good and at a much higher level than most female players.

She should be number 1 now, she has more points in 2020 than anyone, but they changed the formula for this lockdown year.

[@scottclemens2839]

The coach and father of Sofia Kenin found a way to help out if his daughter is under-performing in one such match in tennis. 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.

Coach Kenin has been known to push the envelope, jus abit, no harm no foul. 😉

[@victorlupas4875]

Muguruza was just too nervous in this match. Normally she would have won

[@davidluck1678]

really, either of these women - rock-solid forehands, blazing backhands, devastating serves, brilliant netplay - could cut a swath thru the men's tour. Since we all now understand that gender (like race) is just a social construct, it's long past time to allow (indeed, require) women to participate in the mens' events and (to preserve gender equity) men to participate in the women's events. The results would be amazing and would, no doubt, validate contemporary woke socio-biological theory.

[@nchlakshmi4216]

Dear Sofia Lenin I am your fan in tennis and believe me that I watched this finals in my mobile at least fifty times and I am mad for your tennis. You are still so young and it's appreciated you won the title of A.O. recent and I am praying lord Jesus you should get many more titles.
