WIMBLEDON, England—Sofia Kenin used to be the up-and-coming American, the one who was a Grand Slam champion at age 21, the one who beat a teenage on the way to that trophy, the one who right afterward broke into the Top 10 in the Women’s Tennis Association rankings, then soon made another run to a major final.
“I didn’t really put too much pressure on her,” Gauff said. “I felt like she could make a ball on the court didn’t have to be as good — and I wouldn’t do much with it. That’s what happened.” “With three wins under her belt from ‘qualies,’ I knew she was going to be playing with confidence,” Gauff said when asked about whether Kenin could return to the heights she once reached. “I mean, it’s always possible for somebody to get back to that level. She’s still on the younger end of her career. I think with how she played today, it shouldn’t be too long.”
She became the youngest player to qualify at the All England Club, then beat seven-time major champion Venus Williams in the first round en route to getting all the way to the fourth round before losing to eventual title winner Simona Halep.
