Despite a relative age difference, the final of the ladies’ single of the Australian Open, Saturday in Melbourne, opposed, through the Spanish of Venezuelan origin Garbiñe Muguruza (26 years) and the American Sofia Kenin (21 years), born in Moscow to Russian parents, two schools and perhaps two generations.
Dark-haired, very elegant, determined features, closed face, Garbiñe Muguruza embodies the classic style: a player who strives to express no emotion and who struggles internally as she can with her intimate demons. When this does not work, the pressure cooker whistles with full steam and the beautiful face of marble, slowly decomposes under pressure, this gives 45 direct faults (practically half of the points scored for his opponent) and 9 double faults , always performed at the worst moments, often in sets of two or even three, sometimes faults of more than one meter.
