21-year-old Kenin was playing a major final for the first time and began serving first. Until her breakthrough run at Melbourne Park, she'd never gone past the fourth round at a Grand Slam tournament. AP
Former No 1-ranked Muguruza was unseeded at the tournament but had won majors at the French Open and Wimbledon and was aiming for her first Grand Slam title on a hard court. AP
Garbine Muguruza took the first set 6-4 in the Australian Open final against 14th-seeded Sofia Kenin. Muguruza, a two-time major winner, converted two of her nine break-point chances — in the third and ninth games. AP
Sofia Kenin won the second set 6-2 to level the match after Garbiñe Muguruza took the first set 6-4. She followed that up by a dominant performance in the third set, which she also took 6-2, thanks to a string of errors from Muguruza. AP
Her victory saw Sofia Kenin become the highest-ranked American women's singles player on the WTA circuit. She also moved up to No 7 on the overall rankings list. AP
