Kenin's biggest weapon is her mind. She's so far shown great ability to leave the previous point in the past and focus on the next single point ahead of her. Allows her to deal with pressure situations beautifully. In the finals against Garbine, Kenin was down love-40 in the 5th game on her serve, and she followed with 3 winners, an ace, and a passing shot to win the game. Clear momentum shift that helped her take the match in that final set.
Kenin is such a deceptive player, she’s not going to blow you off the court but she works the point better than anyone. I like her style, hope she continues her success.
I like how she has superb natural timing from any position on the court. She knows how early to take the ball to stay aggressive even when it's coming at her quickly
mmhhmmm i was so happy she won the AO bc she deserved every bit of that win! she reminds me of lindsay davenport with her clean ball striking off of both wings and similar technique on her groundstrokes. and she has a lovely drop shot
Crowds supporting Coco Gauff, Ashley Barty and Muguruza during Australian Open, but Kenin SHOWED inner strength, fighting spirit and Determination to win the AO TITLE 2020. A Girl with a MISSION 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
@Nil Zensei - Excellent point! Just listen to the crowd and you can seethat the claps and cheers were way more for Coco than they were for Kenin, so you were right and that she not only has the strokes, but has the mental toughness too. That’s what all major champions have, because every player at the highest level has the strokes.
@@user-yu4xq9xy3d Everyone in the US is of some kind of descent. She has lived in the US her whole life after birth though.. And considers herself American.
@B M-Y Ok I'm getting racist vibes from the Coco slander. I don't like it. First of all Sharapova got suspended for taking a drug that was technically legal for the first 15 years of her career and it wasn't a steroid or muscle builder. Testing in tennis is the strongest among professional sports. If Coco was taking anything illegal we would know. Osaka was hitting 120 mph serves at that age and so was Coco Vandeweigh
@Einars Dubrovskis you know nothing about tennis I know a player that is also 15 and she hits a 130mph serve and you know why coco gauff has a big serve its because she practices alot. idiot
Kenin is such a treat to watch. I really enjoy watching her play. She places her returns as if it’s as easy as using a laser pointer, end to end of the court. She will make you run.
Former players who are now commentators like Austin, Evert and Davenport are true examples of white American females trying to earn a living by heaping praise on black tennis players like Serena and Coco no matter how ridiculous it sounds. Remember how supportive Evert was of Serena's abuse of the chair umpire during 2018's US Open?
i thought i was the only one who heard the biased commentary here and in the finals....even if Kenin won the point the praise is always on the other side...
I simply loved how kenin destroyed gauff in the 3rd set. Clearly shows she’s got the nerves to be a champion. I think she can be the next davenport/capriati. Also I think she doesn’t get enough credit for what she does. The media was drooling over gauff but then came kenin and said “hold my drink”
Totally agree. Kenin quietly dispatched Gauff while the commentators and the fans rooted for her opponent. I love this Russian American! She is a fighter.
She obviously had gotten tired in the 3rd set but she came back stronger gauff is obviously the better player and has beaten venus Williams 2 times and she's 15 she is definitely the best person
@@yomamascupoftea9459 sport is neither race nor color it’s all about skill. Kenin was the better player today but gauff has a lot of potential. Waiting for her next breakout game.
Broadica Kenin really hadn’t done much before this tournament in terms of producing exciting stories and great results. You can’t blame the media for focusing on someone that was drawing attention. All power to Kenin for playing amazing tennis, but we’ll see if she truly has the stuff to become the next big winner. We’ve quite a few single Slam champions thus far.
Coco looks like one of the few WTA players comfortable with serving. Groundstrokes are a bit inefficient, but effective. Movement and athleticism are pretty good. Maybe footwork can be a little more explosive. Would like to see a few more WTA players that actually look comfortable with serving. There just seems to be not enough.
the WTA backhand is a thing of beauty. I get that the ATP pace is faster so its harder for male pros to have a backhand technique with so much backswing, but its still amazing to see how far back the ladies get that racket. with Kenin in particular this match, the racket literally comes so far back that for a moment its pointed toward her right haha.
I guess they hoped that by showing all of Coco's winners, they could somehow change the results. Politically correct @#$@#$%. In spite of what you see in this video, Sofia won.
Coco played well and had a lot of the crowd's support. I am a fan of her, but kudos to Kennin's determination to win. Kennin just had a better game mentally compared to Gauff. No wonder she won the Australian Open.
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.
Both players were wonderful and great .kenin Cleary as more experience been on the ladies tour longer so she did what she was supposed to do but she kept it together and wore coco out.end of story...but coco's future is bright hopefully.
I feel like the crowd hyped Coco up so much that she felt pressured to win and was unable to finish the job. I guess that’s what happens when you become a superstar at such a young age...
you could argue the other way too. maybe coco was overperforming because of all the encouragement and support that she had and kenin was a hurdle she just couldn't get through despite the support. Only Coco and those close to her can really say for sure. I'm not saying you're wrong, but just pointing out that crowd support and pressure can work both ways. - personally, I find it more believable that coco is a rising star that put together some of the best matches of her life so far, rather than coco is grand slam winning level and underperformed due to pressure and expectations.
Love both girls.. realizing we have these two Americans rising up and taking notice. Where's the men at? What is the plan? We haven't had a slam since Andy Roddick. Or in a final, since Roddick. I know there's a few that are competing fairly well, but not near the top ten. Love John Isner, but he's slowing down, I think he's at his peak.. hmmm I'm team USA, but my favorite is Novak, Rafa, Roger, not only because it's a win/win, but it's always worth the excitement to watch. Just wondering when American man is going to take notice stay in the top 10, no how about the top five.. would be nice to see another ranked number 1!!!😀🎾😀
@@MrCreative242 Serena will never win another title... She doesn't hit well on the move anymore. She's 38 now and the young players are playing tough af.... Halep, Kenin, Gauff, Kerber, Andreescu, Osaka, etc.. Serena hits too may errors now.
Looking back on this match, kind of insane to think that the last 3 major matches Coco has lost were to two eventual winners (Halep-Wimbledon, Kenin-Aussie) and then she lost to Osaka the defending champion at the Open only to avenge her win in Australia. Who’s to saw how well Coco really could have done with different draws.
@B M-Y I guess because they don't point out drastically it's less noticeable. Coco is VERY flatfooted and penguin (the opposite of pigeon) toed, as we used to call it. I remember a few kids wearing braces on their legs to correct either problem.
Gauff had been playing singles and doubles in the tournament. At 15 it's too much for a young lady to handle. She wasn't going to stop fighting but she was out of gas by the third set. Coco has a great future. But Kenin is already a champion. On the US women's side we have a future. On the men's? As long as the big three are there I don't see an American wining a GS.
i mean, we can only hope right? She's definitely on track, but the pressures of fame and expectations can sometimes disrupt people from becoming the best they can be. in some cases, it even destroys them. I hope Coco will prove to be strong enough to rise up to fulfill the potential that she's been showing us.
I believe gauff defeated osaka in a previous round. The commentators were likely bringing up the previous match and comparing the strengths that gauff showed in that previous match to what they were seeing (or were hoping to see) in the current match vs kenin.
Dakota Jara Lenin’s also six years older. The muscularity and durability of a 15 year old is much different than that of a 21 year old. And Kenin was only dominant because Gauff let off the gas and lost focus. She was going toe to toe with Kenin and had she kept that intensity she could’ve won
How is Kenins personality? Is she fun off the court? I LOVE her game but I haven’t been excited about her personality too much. So many of us want a person who is all around a good player and a fun and good person to be around.

And where is she now?
Kenin is such a deceptive player, she’s not going to blow you off the court but she works the point better than anyone. I like her style, hope she continues her success.
She won Lyon tournament last days before.
I like how she has superb natural timing from any position on the court. She knows how early to take the ball to stay aggressive even when it's coming at her quickly
She is the daughter Russian immigrants and inherently takes performance enhancing drugs.
I am so impressed by Guaff, but utterly in awe with Kenin’s game. She is the cleanest hitter Ive ever seen.
mmhhmmm i was so happy she won the AO bc she deserved every bit of that win! she reminds me of lindsay davenport with her clean ball striking off of both wings and similar technique on her groundstrokes. and she has a lovely drop shot

It's not a fault to support a young hopper against a 6 y.older top 5 champion. I would have done too, I guess. Such a great match!
The media, in particular this black announcer, was all in for Gauff, and they created big hype for the next coming of Serena.
They don’t like Kenin because she really is of Russian descent.
@@user-yu4xq9xy3d Everyone in the US is of some kind of descent. She has lived in the US her whole life after birth though.. And considers herself American.
Coco's serve is unreal at 15 years old. She hit a 193 kmh serve in this match. That's 120 mph guys

Sofia has power too! did u see those powerful backhand winners?
People really rooting for Gauff, but Kenin determination and fighting spirit made them sad after the match. 👏👏👏
How many times are you going to say that

Anyway one of the most interesting matches I've seen lately. Great moves! Coco brought her much in trouble.
@@Alyssasrealm Coco was better than Sofia imo

Impressive performance by both young players...
Classy! With average power, Kenin's consistency is a scary weapon; Gauff does show signs of fatigue towards in the 3rd set.
Gauff serves were scary fast but Kenin looks like she trains at receiving guys served
Is it me or the commentators seem to favor Gauff??
Analysts should resign if they are biased. It does not help the sport.
Everybody favours the kid. Not me and not fair. Favour the sport
@That One lol a 40 year old venus is not notable.
Walterpropertylink Of course they all favor Gruff and Sherina over any other player always have and always will. Why? your guess is as good as mine.
@That One 2019 Venus is not an achievement, if it were 2002 Venus them it'd be an achievement
