The only Grand Slam champion of the 2020 season, Sofia Kenin spoke about her hopes ahead of the 2020 US Open.
Sofia Kenin kicked-off her 2020 season in a perfect style back in January this year. She was unstoppable at the Australian Open and won her first Grand Slam title in the career. Now, after 7 months, players moved to Flushing Meadows for the 2nd Grand Slam tournament of the season - US Open. The 21-years-old is motivated ahead of the US Open and during the media day, she said:
"I proved [in Australia] that I can get in deep, I can win a tournament. I hope it's going to help me," Kenin said. "Obviously, it's something that I obviously think about, I remember. It was such a great moment. It's something I'll never forget. Taking it into this week, I'm obviously going to use whatever I can from January, think about it, hopefully build up when I play here."
"Anything can happen on any given day," Kenin said. "I'm not going to obviously focus on winning the US Open because I got to take it one match at a time, like I did in Australia. Hopefully, I can do well here."
"I feel like as I was playing Australia, I just got more matches, I got more confidence. It started paying off, everything that I've done, all the hard work I've put in. Definitely fitness, obviously, has helped. I've been doing it during this whole quarantine and everything," admitted Kenin. "But the major thing is confidence for me."

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.
mandoist09-11-2026 - Ironically, Martina became a U.S. Citizen about the same time as the Orange Convicted Felon & Abuser was just beginning on his road to losing all Daddy's Millions!!
mandoist09-11-2026 - "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?
mandoist09-11-2026 - Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
mandoist08-11-2026 - Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
