What a pocket rocket of a player she is, her game is outstanding she has patience, constancy, pace, precision, power, just enough to be a Grand Slam Champion, what a way to it after being down a set and 0-40 in the third, to save those 3 break points in a row all with long rallies and fitting winners at the end of them, with an ace at deuce (which Eurosport didn't show) and finish it off with another great rally and passing shot winner, to then cruise all the way not losing a game after that point, is absolutely champion stuff! Sonya deserves this title, congratulations to her!
Vele Korunoski *Sofia
@@sallebosse5095 Nope, Sofia is also called Sonya. Both names are possible.
@@sallebosse5095 Also have a look on Wikipedia: Sofia Anna "Sonya" Kenin (/ˈsoʊniə ˈkɛnɪn/ SOH-nee-ə KEN-in;[1] born November 14, 1998) is an American professional tennis player.
@@labutis1215 In Russian Sonya is the short form/nickname for Sofia.
worst slam winner
That 2-2 facing triple break-point 7:57 was the key moment of the match.
What magic from Kenin. That is what a true champion does.
Kenin's backhand is incredible.
So are her legs
Thanks Eurosport
Wimbledon 2019: Gauff defeated Venus in the 1st round
Halep defeated Gauff in the 4th round and won the title 🏆
Australian Open 2020: Gauff defeats Venus in the 1st round
Kenin defeated Gauff in the 4th round and won the title 🏆
Random?
Congratulations to Sofia.
So to win a major beat gauff
Yes, random. But an interesting coincidence! Thanks for sharing.
You get boosted by the win. Gauff means serious business.
Not everything in this world
is about Gauff. Give her a break!
No, it’s obviously the only way you’re allowed to win a GS.
Great match. Seemed really fast!
I liked kenin's performance but sad that mugu lost a final... She had it but lost from 0-40 to break first and then momentum changed
Kenin's shot making ability - just incredible. I'm laughing at the shots, they're just so unreal.
Vincent Causey you should watch the men’s final - there’s a fella called Dominic Thiem playing. If Kenins shotmaking blows your mind, Thiems will have you 6 foot under
@@jwoodward101 Looking forward to that!
Vincent Causey fingers crossed he pulls through 🤞🏻
@Shinobu Tsurubushi don't mind him, he's tripping way too much 😁😁😁
Kenin is a natural champion, it is amazing that how she played big points.. Welcome new Champ!
just another one slam wonder ...soon she will disappear
Kenin seems different John,hope she will not..
@@karadagmert ....And Kenin goes straight out in the 1st round of the very next WTA tournament.
Muguruza footwork is all over the place - address that
I love women's tennis. Every slam, a different winner
Yes so a women's slam has far less meaning and value as a result. No proper champions. Never mind the poor standard. 3 double faults in a game in the final to hand over the match- says it all.
@Shinobu Tsurubushi when the women's grand slam winners disappear into obscurity (e.g. Ostapenko) or meekly go out in the early rounds of subsequent slams (several cases) it's hard to take them seriously and the actual titles are devalued.
@Shinobu Tsurubushi she will have to buck the trend not to follow the others
@Shinobu Tsurubushi loses in the first round of the first tournament (Dubai) she (Kenin) plays after the AO. another "champion" lol . plus ça change
Yes no legends of the game atm. It isn’t interesting.
Very smart this Kenin. Great job!
....And Kenin goes straight out in the 1st round of the very next WTA tournament.
I know many may disagree, but her playstyle reminds me a lot of Li Na, especially her backhand. Brilliant shot making, with the perfect precision and power. Her backhand really is a thing of beauty
yes,yes,yes , very similar to Li Na.
She does play a lot like Li Na, I agree! I do think she's tougher mentally, though, so will be much more consistent
No, I am not agree with the comparation . Her style dont remind me Li Na maybe same power & consistent but not execution.
I even said that like a minute ago too.. Before i started scrolling and saw your comment
Andrew Mark yeah and she’s better defensively as well, so that’ll keep her in points that Li Na couldn’t. So excited for her future
Why do so many people feel the need to click on videos of women's tennis, specifically to comment about how they don't like women's tennis? Bore off and watch something else you absolute melts
Highlights like this actually make it look better than the even more mediocre reality. They leave out the multiple double faults in one game ( three in the last game to hand over the match) and the many more unforced errors.
@@huzcer Yes that's generally what is meant by the word "highlights". Shall I just copy and paste my comment for you to read again?
@@jacob8949 go Jacob. Kenin loses her next two tournaments in her first match. Shows how great "champions" in the WTA are expected to follow up a GS victory. The standard is so bad even Kim pie-sters fancies her chances. She troubled maguruza the other finalist n her first first match in 8 years at 36 and many kilos later. Complete joke
@@huzcer You seem to follow women's tennis awfully closely, yet you patently don't enjoy it. Is it masochism or a lack of self-esteem?
@@jacob8949 the comedy value is fantastic. Especially from the defenders.
What a match - great to see a return to form for Muguruza but Kenin was absolutely irresitable !
Sofia Kenin is very exciting to watch and l can't wait to see her play at Wimbledon.
she has a great future
Went out in the 2nd round last two years there. Would not be surprised to see the same again given the inconsistency of women's tennis.
9:43 The funniest moment of the match, with Kenins sliced forehand, in response to Muguruzas one.
funniest and also really effective!!!
points like these make me really appreciate Sofia's tennis talent
I just saw a new Martina Hingis tonight! Well done Sofia! You play a smart tennis! 🙏🎾👏
me too!!!
Unfortunately fr Muguruza, she's a little too slow in the back court, and she seems to be on the defensive a little too often for a player her height. She needs to play much more offensive and aggressive if she is intent on winning more grand slam titles in future.
Easily the best match in the history of WTA tennis! The level of tennis they played in this match was ridiculous and those shots were not human, more like a robot rallies!
Biggest problem the womens game has is there are no great rivalries, back in the 80s/90s the criticism was the lack of depth but you had memorable battles between greats like Graf, Seles, Navratilova and Evert at the end of the tournament. There doesn't seem to be any greats after Serena, just players who can win one or two slams and cant be consistent. The grunting these days makes it completely unwatchable aswell, seems like it's used to distract and intimidate your opponent.
They all play the same way: backcourt grinders trying to grind or hit through their opponents from the back of the court.S.Williams won because of her brute power (legally acquired and maintained or otherwise), but her playing style was the same as all the rest.
@@martydav9475 yes very little variety these days sadly
@@hill4252 Yes indeed. I think it's been like that since the days of Tracy Austin and Andrea Yeager in the early eighties, I remember. I can really only recall Navratilova and Mauresmo(serve-and-volley); Graf(more of an all-round game) and, to a lesser extent perhaps, Henin (beautiful one-handed backhand) who tried to play in a different way. Most of the rest have been/are like clones: the names change on the scoreboard but the style of play remains the same. I thought it was fascinating to see Taylor Townsend (ranked outside the top 100 at the time) play serve-and-volley at the U.S. Open recently. It took her all the way to the last sixteen (in one of her matches she went to the net over a hundred times); an indication, perhaps, of what might happen if they risked it, and tried something different.
I agree with you about women's tennis needing a rivalry.
the fellas dont do a bad job of grunting too.
Je croyais que Muguruza allait remporter cette finale mais je ne suis pas surpris pour autant, le tennis féminin est vraiment imprévisible. Muguruza criait plus fort que Kenin mais la jeune americane a mieux gérer ses nerfs pour son premier titre en Grand Chelem. Bravo!
Absolutely brilliant here at 09:25 :-)
Congratulations young lady!! Very well done to you!!!!
"Are you kidding me?" :)
Sofia is my new fav player. what a champ and queen :)
just another one slam wonder ...soon she will disappear
Kenin, calm and confident. So refreshing in comparison to so many nervous wrecks on the WTA.
If you saw the whole match, you could see that she is not calm at all
calm ?? you have corona virus bruh
They both are very supers, but it’s a game! Some Win n Some loss! I congratulated you both! 💐🧚🏻♀️🌷🧚🏻♂️👍 very stuff Match!
So many men in the comments complaining about the quality of the tennis and the grunting of the players - this was a fantastic match and had absolutely everything and many of the male players grunt far more loudly and annoyingly.
What about sharapova, riske and azarenka? Their grunts are far too loud which makes it look fake 😂
@@callum2918 not saying that all of them are genuine, Sharapova's definitely isn't as she is silent in training/warmup. I think there should definitely be a rule about how long you can do it for it should also be classed as a hindrance. I was just commenting that people seem oblivious that it happens with men too
Everything including 3 double faults in one game to hand over the match. What a joke of a standard.
@@huzcer yet when Thiem double faults during crucial moments in all of his games you don't complain? It's pressure, it affects everyone
@@nathanconstable6833 eh there is a big big difference between one double fault in a game and three double faults. If Thiem hit three double faults in the championship game he'd probably retire out of embarrassment.
Not downsizing Kenin, she's very smart player that always makes right decision and has the pack of skills, but she won because of physical reasons. She was fresh and running like the Road Runner from cartoon, while Muguruza had very heavy legs and barely even was moving.
Hahahahahaha very funny
Amazing win for Kenin. There will be a period of change so if results go south momentarily I hope she doesn't get too much stick. Most first time major winners have a dip in form after the high of winning.
Or some of them never win anything ever again (or before actually). Eg ostapenko. Lack of consistency does pose questions about the overall standard
@@huzcer Interesting comment. In that case we have to look at personalities. Long before this final, we have seen that Kenin is someone who wants to get to the top and stay there. Ostapenko has not demonstrated those traits, not least because she makes the same mistakes over and over, match after match, year after year. That mistake is over hitting, she is unable to compromise and reign it in to progress her career.
@@BurnsTennis I would agree with your assessments. Kenin has shown steady progression before this win but it remains to be seen if she can be consistent force at the top. Ostapenko went on a streak at the French but should never really have won it. A streaky player never wins a slam on the men's side.
Love their outfits.
The battle of the pure drives
5:13 You're Welcome :)
I see what you did...
Thanks bro!
Thats the real comment
Curiously enough, I bought some baps yesterday.
Lenin is arrogant on the brink of a temper tantrum whereas Mugu has manners and she is a lady instead of a brat.
I didn't know that Vladimir Lenin was still alive. He must be an immortal!
Damm Bolsheviks
So many moaning about the grunting, it really isn’t as annoying as people make it out to be..
yes this was among better, Kennin does not grunt
That's an interesting thought. I have been going to tennis tournaments over England and Europe since 1995, I have seen most of the loud players, and I have come to the conclusion it sounds worse on television than live. Perhaps it has to do with how the players have the microphones close up to the court for television purposes.
I’m not a fan of WTA games, but these players deserve huge respect for such a fantastic match...
Wow Amazing
Kenin in Beastmode.
Finally something new , some young girl got grand slam !!!!!!
just another one slam wonder ...soon she will disappear
@@ALLNAMESAREALLREADYT how do you know? She was so consistent this tournament and did not make many errors. For me, she has improved so much in the last year.
Have you heard of Bianca Andreescu?
There is a new winner of ever women's slam almost. That shows the standard unfortunately
Great win in third set but sad story right now after three years later..but still young she
София молодец! Ура!
9:23 WHAT A POINT THAT IS!
Muguruza.. i make spin
Kenin ... i will show you what is spin
@@raayschneider2759 exactly!
My new favorite player; Sofia Kenin
Excessive grunting should be illegal!
Yep that's what I was saying.. infact any grunting whatsoever.
Absolutely agree with you, Muguruza was for me anyway unbearable to listen to. Sad thing is, before she won her first Grand Slam, she never made a sound on court. Same with Halep, she used to never make a sound and now she is also ubearable to listen to. This wailing is ruining tennis for the spectator.
Yep
Totally agree....I used to like Halep until the GRUNTING started. Now I just want them to STFU!! Once and for ALL!!
@@caffreys1979 well some grunting is unavoidable because of exhaustion or the strain some shots put on the body. Thiem and Rublev for example hit every shot with all they have, some noises are just natural. Even Federer grunts on his second serve or in very exhausting exchanges. I agree with you that what people like Sharapova, Muguruza or Halep do is totally unacceptable. A male example would be Sousa
Nice place you got there Sofia
USA got lucky here
Williams must evole
🇮🇸❤
Has there ever been a major final with so little interest...
wow this young player is a new force to reckon she will be no 1. finally some good tennis on female side lol
vaya repaso le metio Sofia Kenin a la cara caballo
Круто, девочки!👏
Does anyone have a clue why Kenin was angry during the third set all the time despite having the lead and being on the brink of winning which she eventually did???
coz shes a little bit crazy
John Stromboly: Yeah, seems that way, but still a weird way to be like that...
Might be a trick she plays on herself for greater focus?
Лучших теннис финал участники женщины Австралия Опен, ИСПАНИЯ и США, я проиграл 2 место женщина. Все отлично, супер 100%
Good game girls let's get rid of the grunting...
Yet why women don't play slams in 5 set like the men? Courts number needs or else?
cos no-one would watch it. It would be horrific enduring 5 sets of this crap.
The women agreed years ago to play 5 sets.However it was squashed by the TV execs as it would take more airtime and mess with schedules so it never happened. In fact women used to play best of 5 in the finals of the year end championships till that got changed s well.

Ok look I know what TH-cam comments can be like. But I don't have time for fake news, it's just a polite term for spreading lies which isn't my thing. I don't normally comment on vids I just thought I'd share some info as I genuinely thought you might want know. This happened yrs ago but I'll try and find a link to it online. After that I won't trouble you again, but thank you for taking the time to read my comments..
Horrible to listen how they scream while beating the ball. Main reason why I don't watch it...
Main reason is that you don't like tennis enough to overcome screaming
The champion of screaming was Sharapova!!
I even played tennis and still enjoy playing it.
But I guess you know better what I like and don't! ;)
Especially 9:50; if my mom had come in I would have switched to porn, easier to explain
Oliver McCall, it's only bad when women do it, Nadal's uhs and ahs are totally fine
Well in the womans devision it seams like every one can win now they are new winners every year
That says a lot about the overall standard
Sophia ❤😊🥀
Дабдаб молодчинка, США в шоке
küçük enişte sofia kenin
Great match well done to Sofia but my goodness the grunting is awful almost had to watch in silent mode. Grunting should be banned in pro tennis. 🎾
Its a part of Tennis. Also for some players you improve your shots if you are grunting.
@Oliver McCall bro im 18. Modern Problems need modern solucions
@Oliver McCall You mean when they were serving at 80mph?
Muguruza :( why!? You should win!!!
Really?? I’ve NEVER rated her at all. Her Two GS came against two AGEING William sisters!! She has NO TENNIS BRAIN and her serve?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sofia’s legs are awesome😍
Butter face tho
Porque coño Garbiñe dice "come on" si es española??!
First Grand Slam title for a Russian player since 2012! Congrats!
I wonder if this is pretty much everything we're gonna see from Kenin. Some Monica Puig-vibes are felt in the air...
most likelly just another one slam wonder ...soon she will disappear
Oaktree B you never know. Sure, Muguruza, Kvitova, Ostapenko and even Osaka got (way) worse after winning their first slams.. but then we also had more consistent players like Halep or Kerber. We'll see.
@@charliez077 ....And Kenin goes straight out in the 1st round of the very next WTA tournament.
Mugu is romanian roots spanish
Sofai Kenin is like Wawrinka of the women's game. And her attack is like someone who I won't name, the way she can pick off her opponent.
jesus Gerbine choked hard! i mean losing is fine but after Halep i tought she was back at her peak and to get dominated like that the whole match...
Where did she choke? She didn't make many errors, more likely Kenin hit winner after winner! Kenin just played a superb match and deserve the title!
3 double faults in last game? Looked like a choke to me! Got to make the youngster in her first grand slam actually win it.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Halep should have won this tournament this year...is only that mentally she wasn’t so strong when she played Mugu...
Eli Sav she would’ve taken Kenin in the final surely, she blew her semi big time. Had she got the the first set like she should’ve it would have been straightforward..
Story of women's tennis. Choc full of flakes.
Is this the future of women tennis? Loud grunting robots with little creativity or volley skills to speak of. Where are the dropshots? The smart subtle choices? The only thing nice to see is the amazing rally pace. With the volume lowered of course.
AAAAHH --------------AAAAAAAAAAHH--------------AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH--------------AAAAHH---------COMEON
I'm sorry, but after 2 minutes I have to close this video.
Ikr
can't stand Muguruza's horsey shrieking
Women's tennis is so boring!
Play 90% on the baseline, much too slow, absolutely no tension -.-
idk man i thought this was actually pretty intense.
And you have to hit the mute button on the TV, the Spanish chick sounds like a goat on crack 😂
totally agree, yet so many still waste their time watching this crap. Why would you bother watching an inferior version of the game?
Shomy Bree lol you are clearly an idiot, this was a fantastic match.
@Crixus Mauperthuis Don't be so brutal 😂😂😂
Muguruza is not a good match for Kenin. Muguruza is not deadly enough. Forget this match.
Kenin = Cibulkova
She kinda plays like Hingis
THINKS 🧠 like Hingis also. Great tennis brain.
@@zedearl5181 shes literally what hingis never was, an agressive powerfull groundstrokes player. Hingis never could defend like this
Nic but tho😂
Idk if it’s only me but if there’s no Serena on the court the game instantly becomes boring:(
It's just you
It becomes a lot fairer, yes
There should be a law introduced to lower the decibels of some of these players, it ruins the spectacle ( and enjoyment) of watching the match. It just isn't necessary!
If Roger Federer doesn't need to make any grunting noise then nor does anyone else. I wouldn't pay good money just to listen to that.
Mael Ughran VERY good point...RF NEVER makes a sound at all. Needs to be BANNED!!
Actually Federer does grunt when he hits kick serves and in some rallies
@@tnuyx9405 Technically ya but it's rare and more importantly can u hear it? I haven't.
VIVA Maduro , VIVA Chavistas
😯
Murguruza could have gone back to being relevant.. WTA I guess😂
Cause you’re only relevant when winning Grand Slams... she beat one top player after another in this tournament... but sure she’s not relevant..
Просто перекинув мяч на сторону соперницы можно выйграть большой шлем я худею
блет я вообще не понимаю, что за дно я только что посмотрел. После хайлайтов мужских полуфиналов это выглядит просто унылым дрочевом :(
women's tennis is really so crap sometimes
just another one slam wonder ...soon she will disappear
Juegan fatal.
Mugaruza's excessive noise-making has always irritated me (not that Kenin is quiet, but it's still quite a gap) - but I really admire her congratulating Kenin at what must have been a very hard moment for her. I hope she'll continue to have success (and make a little less noise).
And learn how to serve
Jesus Christ I can´t watch this with sound. That grunt of Muguruza is absolutely awful
Imagine her farts
Then don't watch. Simple as that.
Garbagina got beat 😛😛😛
So happy that Satan lost
Russia vs Venezuela.
XD
I love her attitude but she ain’t winning no more slams, she ain’t that great.
GG but somehow so lackluster.
What utter bullocks from you, that was a brilliant game!
@Oliver McCall doesnt matter cause you watched only 1 gs final
@@xmorowe lol
xmorowe actually this really was one of the best WOMEN'S finales in recent memory. Clearly you dont pay that much attention. So many fantastic points
@@charliez077 three double faults in the final game to hand over the title was pathetic. No way can you call this a great final. If a male player hit three doubles in one game to lose the match he'd probably retire from embarrassment
lol why doesn't she attempt to return that at 10:36.... pathetic
Lol what's with the screaming and grunting, it's like you're watching a porn. They need to forbid this.
