The champion of the Australian Open 2020, Sofia Kenin, has announced that her father is returning to her coaching staff after they split earlier this year.
The 22-year-old American tennis player defeated Garbine Muguruza and won the Australian Open in 2020, climbing to 4th place in the world rankings. However, after a series of disappointing matches earlier this year, she said she broke up with her father, Alex Kenin, as her coach.
“This year has been quite hesitant for me. I finally got back to training and doing what I love! I am happy to have my father in my life, who has always been by my side during all difficulties. I am excited that he is part of my staff, I look forward to returning to the court and playing again next year”, wrote Sofia Kenin on Instagram.
Sofia Kenin had to retire from the US Open this year after taking a positive test for KOVID-19, even though she had been vaccinated.
Sofia Kenin is an American professional tennis player. She has a career-high Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) ranking of No. 4 in the world and is the top-ranked American in women’s singles. She is the reigning WTA Player of the Year, an award she earned by winning the 2020 Australian Open and finishing runner-up at the 2020 French Open. Sofia Kenin has won five WTA singles titles and won two WTA doubles titles, including the 2019 China Open at the Premier Mandatory level with Bethanie Mattek-Sands.
