2020 Australian Open - Day 13

The first of the four Grand Slams of the 2020 tennis season is in the books, with a new face and a tennis legend taking center stage at the Australian Open in Melbourne.

In the women's draw, 21-year-old American Sofia Kenin had her breakthrough on the world stage, capturing her first Grand Slam title with a three-set victory against Garbiñe Muguruza in the final. The 14th-seeded Kenin is the first American woman not named Serena Williams to win the Australian Open since Jennifer Capriati back in 2002. Along the way to her maiden Grand Slam championship, Kenin collected victories against Coco Gauff and top-seeded Ashleigh Barty, who is the No. 1 ranked player in the world, and was looking to capture her home country's major. 

The women's draw also saw Muguruza's sudden return to top-level status. The two-time Grand Slam winner (2016 French Open, 2017 Wimbledon) has largely struggled since her triumph at the All-England Club, particularly in the Grand Slams. In nine starts at the majors since the Wimbledon title, Muguruza had advanced past the fourth round only once and was knocked out in the first round at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open in 2019.

On the men's side, it was another coronation for Novak Djokovic, who collected his 17th Grand Slam title, with a comeback five-set victory against Dominic Thiem. It's the eighth Australian Open crown for Djokovic, which extends his record in Melbourne, and with the 2020 title, he becomes the first male player to win a Grand Slam in three different decades. The Joker has now won at least one Grand Slam in nine of the past 10 seasons. 

Dominic Thiem, on the other hand, is still seeking his first Grand Slam title. This is the third time the 26-year-old has been to a Grand Slam final, and he has lost all three, and this one comes after having beaten Djokovic the previous two times they had faced off, including a five-set victory in the semifinals of the 2019 French Open. Thiem went on to lose to Rafael Nadal in the final at Roland Garros, which is the site of the next Grand Slam, which will begin May 24.
