Sofia Kenin Strikes Again, American On The Move

Sofia Kenin continues to make headlines on the WTA Tour. The young American wins her opener at the Mubadala Silicon Valley Classic.

Sofia Kenin wins again. This time, she advances through the round of 32 at the Mubadala Silicon Valley Classic. Kenin defeats qualifier Verónica Cepede Royg in straight sets on Monday. Winning 6-4 6-4, the young American is again grooving on the courts.

Earlier this year, Kenin came onto the scene when she cracked the WTA Top 100 in women’s singles. Now, she is going even higher, currently sitting in the world number 68 position on the WTA Tour. How high can she go?

American women’s tennis is in need of a new generation of stars. With Serena Williams playing intermittently since giving birth, US tennis is wide open for the taking. That being said, Williams also continues to impress whenever she steps onto the court. But, her and sister Venus are the veterans. There is a new set of stars on the WTA Tour. Madison Keys and Sloane Stephens are among the top contenders. Last year at the US Open, Stephens took home her very first Grand Slam singles title, defeating Keys in the finals. The two were already strong players in women’s singles but proved that they have what it takes to be the best. Kenin, just 19-years-old, has some more to do before she can be discussed in conversation with Stephens and Keys. She is, however, doing a fantastic job in the matches she is playing this year.

Sofia Kenin looks to continue making headlines on the WTA Tour. She is easily one of the top players to watch in American women’s singles tennis right now.

After winning her opener at the Wimbledon Championships, Sofia Kenin went on to take an ITF USA 21A title in Berkeley, California. Her success as of late makes her someone to watch throughout the rest of the 2018 WTA Tour. Stay tuned to see how far she can advance in San Jose this week.
