NEW DELHI: Despite a slump that caused her to plummet outside the top 200 last year following her successful 2020 Grand Slam campaign, American tennis player Sofia Kenin has made a remarkable resurgence at Wimbledon. She navigated the qualifiers and has now advanced to the third round, showcasing her rediscovered form.
Kenin's breakthrough came in 2020 when she clinched the Australian Open title and followed it up with a runner-up finish at Roland Garros, propelling her to a career-high ranking of number four in the world. Unfortunately, a series of setbacks, including injuries, a battle with COVID-19, a string of early-round defeats, and a temporary split with her father-coach Alex, caused her ranking to plummet to 235.
