Sofia Kenin is a Russian-American tennis player.
Born in Moscow in 1998, Kenin's family moved to the USA whilst she was still a baby, settling in New York and then Florida. A prodigious talent since the age of 5, Kenin quickly began getting professional tennis lessons, and she topped multiple age-grade rankings throughout her teenage years. Kenin had a successful ITF Juniors career, including many impressive performances in girls' Grand Slam main draws; she made her senior ITF debut aged 15.
Whilst still technically a junior, Kenin made her Grand Slam debut in 2015, at the US Open. Despite losing her first round match, she would appear at the tournament again the following year but she once again failed to advance to the second round. In 2017, however, it was third time lucky for Kenin, as she won her first 2 matches of the US Open main draw, making it to the third round, where she was defeated by Maria Sharapova.
After recording those 2 US Open match wins - her first on the WTA tour - Kenin's game and ranking improved: in 2018 she entered the top-100, reached her first WTA semifinal, won her debut match at Wimbledon, and finished the year inside the top-50. The following year, the American picked-up her first WTA singles title in Hobart, Australia, and then swiftly added to her tally, collecting trophies in Mallorca (Spain) and Guangzhou (China). In what was arguably her breakthrough year, Kenin finished the year inside the WTA top-15. Kenin's rise did not stop there however; in the 2020 season she won the Australian Open aged just 21, becoming the youngest American woman to win a Grand Slam singles title since 2002, when Serena Williams won her first US Open. Off the back of her Grand Slam win, Kenin rose to number 7 in the WTA singles rankings, a ranking she bettered just months later, rising to number 4 after winning the Lyon Open. Despite the 2020 season being interrupted by the Coronavirus pandemic, Kenin managed to retain her good form, reaching the final of Roland-Garros, where she was defeated by Iga Świątek.
Sofia Kenin primarily plays from the back of the court, but the has a more varied game than most outright baseline players: she is strong off both the forehand and backhand sides, and her use of disguise is among the best on the women's tour. Her eclectic game allows her to catch opponents off-guard and play aggressively, which is well-suited to counter-attacking against similarly attack-minded players, as well as over-powering more defensive ones.

The experience at this WTA 500 tournament was great...even though it was just the qualifiers but the atmosphere was really awesome!
It was a good experience and the crowd management was pretty good, except for foreigners who attended with passport verification. It was not so convenient to reenter the Diamond Court without being escorted by the friend who booked the tickets on our behalf. The ushers at the gate kept on insisting to check the original booking on the mini app, and passport verification was not sufficient.
It was an amazing experience being the first time in China. The event was well organized, and the courts were clean. Watching the top players live was out of this world.
It was an experience of a lifetime, unforgettable. The only thing we would have loved is the use of Visa instead of drawing cash as some of us travelled far, we came from South Africa. We will definitely attend again
Very well organised n helpful staff
Great event which attracted many big names in tennis. Getting to the event and entry in to the stadium was easy and straight forward.
