1st American win at a grand slam in a long time. Glad to see it. Be nice for the sport if an American male emerged at some point soon
Kenin won the AO in 2020, but she’s fallen off a cliff since. Really happy for Coco. Her reaction after the final point was special. Pretty incredible that she won a major at 19 years old. Believe only Serena, Venus and Tracy Austin won as teenagers. Rare air.
3 years is a long time when talking about Americans and tennis. Before Kenin it was Stephens at the 2017 US. Serena won her last one at Wimbledon in 2016. It has been awhile since the US had real chances to win consistently at Grand Slams. The men is so ridiculously long at this point, I'm not sure when they will get one again. In case you don't remember it was 2003. Agassi won the Aussie and then Roddick closed the year winning the US. Yes it has been so long for the American men that Andre Agassi was still active.
