• Kenin lifts first grand slam title
If to be young is heaven, Sofia Kenin is floating on an untouchable cloud after beating Garbiñe Muguruza in three sets to win the 2020 Australian Open, becoming the eighth first-time winner in the past dozen grand slam finals.
Kenin, the 21-year-old daughter of Russian emigres who arrived in the United States with little but hope and two children, not only is she the youngest American to win a major since Serena Williams 18 years ago, but the youngest Melbourne champion since Maria Sharapova in 2008.
