  • Sofia Kenin jadi juara tunggal putri Australia Open 2020 usai mengalahkan Garbine Muguruza, Sabtu (1/2/2020).
  • Perempuan 21 tahun itu adalah petenis termuda setelah Maria Sharapova yang mampu memenangi Australia Open.
  • Sofia Kenin mempertegas dominasi petenis muda di sektor tunggal putri grand slam.

SKOR.id – Sofia Kenin mencatatkan sejarah di Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne, Sabtu (1/2/2020). Ia menjadi petenis tunggal putri termuda yang menjuarai Australia Open sejak 2008.

Perempuan 21 tahun tersebut sukses mengalahkan Garbine Muguruza asal Spanyol melalui pertarungan tiga set, 4-6, 6-2, 6-2, dalam final Australia Open 2020.

Rekor termuda masih dipegang Maria Sharapova. Petenis asal Rusia ini menjuarai Australia Open dengan mengalahkan Anna Ivanovic saat usianya belum genap 21 tahun pada 2008.

Tak hanya itu, Sofia Kenin juga merupakan petenis termuda Amerika Serikat (AS) yang meraih gelar grand slam setelah Serena Williams saat menjuarai US Open dalam usia 17 tahun pada 1999 silam.

Namun kemenangan atas Garbine Muguruza tetap spesial bagi Sofia Kenin. Maklum, Australia Open 2020 adalah gelar grand slam perdana petenis AS kelahiran Moscow, Rusia ini.

Sebelumnya, dalam enam penampilan di ajang grand slam, prestasi terbaik Sofia Kenin adalah menembus babak keempat Roland Garros (French Open) pada 2019 lalu.

“Mimpi saya benar-benar menjadi kenyataan. Saya sebelumnya hanya berangan-angan bisa menjuarai grand slam,” ujar Sofia Kenin yang masih terlihat emosional usai menerima trofi.

“Saya bekerja sangat keras untuk bisa berdiri di sini. Jadi, jika Anda memiliki mimpi, terus kejar karena semua itu mungkin diwujudkan,” kata Kenin menambahkan.

Kemenangan Sofia Kenin juga semakin mempertegas representasi dan dominasi petenis tunggal putri muda di ajang utama (mayor).

Musim lalu, Naomi Osaka (Australia Open), Ashleigh Barty (French Open), dan Bianca Andreescu (US Open menjadi juara saat usia mereka belum mencapai 23 tahun.

Bagi Sofia Kenin, titel Australia Open ini melanjutkan progresnya musim lalu di mana ia sukses meraih tiga gelar WTA tour: Hobart, Australia; Majorca, Spanyol; dan Guangzhou, Cina.

Kematangan Sofia Kenin kian terlihat sepanjang Australia Open bergulir. Pada babak keempat, ia menyingkirkan petenis muda AS Coco Gauff, 6-7(5), 6-3, 6-0.

Dalam perempat final, Kenin mengatasi Ons Jabuer (6-4, 6-4), yang dalam perjalanannya mampu mengalahkan petenis top macam Johana Konta dan Caroline Wozniacki.

Kemudian pada partai semifinal, Sofia Kenin berhasil mengalahkan unggulan pertama Ashleigh Barty dua set langsung, 7-6(6), 7-5.

Konsistensi kembali diperlihatkannya dalam laga final. Sofia Kenin sempat kehilangan set pertama melawan Garbine Muguruza, namun bangkit dan mendominasi pada dua set berikutnya.
