Sofia Kenin's first Grand Slam triumph at the Australian Open was really well received in the tennis community by fans; as well as tennis stars and legends alike.
After her 4-6, 6-2, 6-2 win over Garbine Muguruza; we take a look at the social media reaction from those in the tennis community.
Kim Clijsters and Billie Jean King are among those to tweet about it; the former has significance; as she gave Kenin a tour round at the Miami Open as a child.

Also fellow WTA players congratulated with among others the likes of Madison Keys, Jelena Ostapenko, Caroline Garcia; as well as the last Grand Slam winner, Bianca Andreescu who of course was not involved in Melbourne.
In addition, there was also a lot of positive reaction to her dad/coach Alexander who filmed the reaction speech; even though of course it was being televised all around the world!

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
