Sofia Kenin talks about Aus Open 2020 final

Sofia Kenin is going to her first Grand Slam final at the age of 21. According to many, Sofia Kenin defeated Ash Barty by never flinching, even when she was a point away from losing each set of the Australian Open semi-final. On Saturday, Kenin will go up against the unseeded Spanish player Garbiñe Muguruza. The results have ensured that the women's singles final will have two unseeded players, which is a rare instance.

“I’m not even going to look,” Kenin said of the other semifinal. “I’m just going to relax and enjoy this moment. I’m just looking forward to the final,” she added.
