Fall from grace to return to form: Sofia Kenin sits on the verge of seeded spot at 2024 Australian Open despite horrific four years after 2020 triumph

American tennis star Sofia Kenin’s downfall continues as now she is sitting on the verge of a seeded spot for the 2024 Australian Open. The 25-year-old has had a tough time in the recent past where she struggled with fitness concerns. It was because of this reason she missed two Grand Slams in 2022.

As per the latest report, Kenin is now sitting on the verge of a seeded spot for the 2024 edition of the first Grand Slam of the year. The Florida-born won the competition back in 2020 after defeating Spain’s Garbine Muguruza in the final with a score of 4–6, 6–2, 6–2.

In 2023, Kenin managed to play in the main round of three out of the four Grand Slams. However, she could not manage to qualify for the fourth round or beyond in any of the events.
