Sofia Kenin claimed a brilliant victory over Garbine Muguruza in the final of the 2020 Australian Open.
Kenin became another first time winner of a Grand Slam in the modern era and for the American, it is all hard to take in initially.
“Not really. I feel like 2019 I started off great with first WTA title for me in Hobart. After that things just took off,” Kenin said on whether she has ever had self doubts.
“I had a great run in Paris. Played my idol, Serena. Lost to Ash there. Got the revenge here.
“So, yeah, I mean, everything's just happening so fast for me. I'm just still on cloud nine right now.
“I did it with all the belief that I've had, all the efforts that I've done to get to where I am right now.”
She will rise to world No.7, displacing Serena Williams to become the top American and Kenin looked forward to being involved in the Fed Cup with her next weekend.
“It hasn't sunk in yet. Everything is just still a blur for me,” she said.
“I just can't believe what happened … I feel like I'm doing some great things for American tennis. It's such an honour.
“I've watched Serena. I've been following her, all the slams she's been winning. It's a special feeling just to be ahead of her. I'm just super excited. I can't wait to compete, be on the same team with her in Fed Cup.”

- 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".
