21-year-old Sofia Kenin is your 2020 #AusOpen champion, showing some absolutely incredible fight to tough out a 4-6, 6-2, 6-2 win over Garbiñe Muguruza.

That third set was much tougher than score would suggest, and Kenin was every bit ready for the battle.

Shame to end on a DF.

AUSTRALIAN OPEN : DOMINIC THIEM CRUSHES RAFAEL NADAL IN 4-SET QUARTER-FINAL EPIC !

AUSTRALIAN OPEN : DOMINIC THIEM CRUSHES RAFAEL NADAL IN 4-SET QUARTER-FINAL EPIC !

IS DOMINIC THIEM THE "ANTI-THESIS" OF RAFAEL NADAL ?

IN APRIL, DOMINIC THIEM DEMOLISHED NADAL IN STRAIGHT SETS IN THE QUARTER-FINALS OF BARCELONA OPEN, RIGHT IN HIS OWN KINGDOM - - ON CLAY - - AT THE "RAFA NADAL COURT", A COURT BARCELONA PROUDLY NAMED AFTER THE KING OF CLAY, 6 - 4; 6 - 4.

IN 2018, ALSO IN THE QUARTER-FINALS OF THE US OPEN, THIEM "BAGELED" NADAL - - A FEAT AGAINST NADAL, AS RARE AS A BLUE MOON - - NADAL WAS LUCKY TO ESCAPE BY THE SKIN OF HIS TEETH IN A MATCH TIE-BREAK, CLIMAXING A FEROCIOUS NEARLY 5-HOUR MARATHON BATTLE THAT ENDED PAST 2:00 AM IN NEW YORK, 0-6; 6-4; 7-5; 6-7; 7-6.

AND NOW, AT THE 2020 AUSTRALIAN OPEN, DOMINIC THIEM CRUSHED RAFAEL NADAL ONCE AGAIN IN THE QUARTER-FINALS, WITH BREATHTAKING EXCHANGE OF DEADLY GROUND STROKES, THAT LOOKED UNREAL IN THE REALM OF PHYSICS, 7 -6; 7 -6; 4 - 6; 7 -6.

DOMINIC THIEM HAS DONE SOMETHING NO ONE HAS EVER DONE AGAINST ONE OF THE GREATESTS IN THE SPORT.

IT WOULD BE UNTHINKABLE, THIEM WOULD NOT HOLD A GRAND SLAM TROPHY SOON ONE DAY.
