Envy and resentment among professional tennis players? But from where! Rather, the social internet has become a haven of empathy after Sofia Kenin won her first Grand Slam title in Melbourne. And not only current fellow athletes paid tribute to the 21-year-old American, legends of tennis also sent congratulations. Like the great Mary Pierce ...
Kim Clijsters, in turn, had actually planned to be active again in Melbourne 2020. Instead, the Belgian sang from afar the new champion…
Congratulations from Billy Jean King, who has derived a euphoric future from the results of the past few weeks, should not be missing. Well, you will see.
If you had known before the start of the first major of the year that the winner would come from the USA, the name Madison Keys should have been mentioned. Instead, Maddie joined the guard of the well-wishers.
Will Sofia Kenin completely conquer the tennis world from now on? Or is she doing in the medium term like the French Open winner of 2017 Jelena Ostapenko, who is desperately looking for her mojo?
The experts have been trusting a woman to the huge coup for several years, but so far, Elina Svitolina has not yet been able to raise the trophy to any major.
From a sporting perspective, the big absentee in Australia was Bianca Andreescu. As a ruling US Open winner, the Canadian can of course also sit back and relax to some extent. And congratulate warmly.
