The Spanish tennis player Garbiñe Muguruza lost this Saturday the option to conquer the Australian Open, after falling in the final 4-6, 6-2 and 6-2 against the American Sofia Kenin, and stayed with honey on the lips than it would have been his third tournament of the 'Grand Slam'.

At 26, the player born in Caracas walked close to breaking more barriers for Spanish women's tennis, after being crowned on the clay of Roland Garros in 2016, before Serena Williams, and on the grass of Wimbledon in 2017, against his sister Venus Williams.

On this occasion, it was another American who deprived Muguruza of glory. It was in a game that lasted 2 hours and 3 minutes on the track of a Rod Laver Arena that pulled the good streaks of both players, with the aim of seeing three sleeves if possible.
