If winning a Grand Slam title inevitably allows you to build a significant record, it does not guarantee you a linear career.
After a remarkable 2020 where she won the Australian Open before playing in the Roland‐Garros final, Sofia Kenin has since been missing. Back down to 130e world place, the 23-year-old American has just suffered a sixth defeat in a row this season after another worrying poor performance against the Brazilian Haddad Maia in the first round of Indian Wells.
Beaten, 3-6, 5-7 in 1h50 of play, the one who has since taken over her father as head coach after a break of several months, delivered a match unworthy of her level with in particular 11 double faults for a total of 73 faults direct.
Clearly in the hard both from a physical and psychological point of view, concern is growing about Sofia Kenin who was one of the most dangerous players on the circuit a few months ago.
