American tennis star [https://www.wtatennis.com/players/320942/sofia-kenin] Sofia Kenin revealed her love for pop icon Drake [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_(musician)]. In a conversation with Baseline, the Australian Open champion revealed that she was big on Drake. The rapper was her go-to musician whenever she would head out for workout. In fact, she would go on to say that she can’t stop listening to Drake’s songs. When asked for her favourite song, she was spoilt for choices. She would go on to say that she liked all the songs that he makes. Drake has had a special connection with the tennis world. Who can forget all the dating rumours that he was a part of with Serena Williams? In fact, there was a time when Drake and Serena were the favourite characters for Tabloids. Drake continued to be a vocal supporter of Serena Williams. In fact, he has been spotted in multiple matches featuring Serena. Eventually, the rumours regarding Drake and Serena died and Williams also got married. Coming back to Sofia Kenin, the star currently has a lot of time on her hands. This has been her best year yet. The year has seen her making it to the top 5 of the WTA rankings and also win her first grand slam at the Australian Open. sofia kenin [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Sofia_Kenin_-_2020_Australian_Open_-DSC_6795_original.jpg] Know More – “Match Against Serena Williams At French Open Changed Everything” – Sofia Kenin [https://www.essentiallysports.com/match-against-serena-williams-at-french-open-changed-everything-sofia-kenin-wta-tennis-news/] WHAT IS EXPECTED OUT OF SOFIA KENIN IN THE FUTURE? Despite a promising start, Kenin has detailed in her tracks. She had abysmal performances at Dubai and Doha. In addition, she lost her match at the Fed Cup on behalf of Team USA. To remain at the top of her game, Kenin will have to show a degree of consistency. If that doesn’t happen, she risks a fall like that of Sloane Stephens. However, currently, she can enjoy her time at the top of the mountain as tennis pundits call her the future of women’s tennis. 

American tennis star Sofia Kenin revealed that her favourite singer is Drake who
is one of the biggest rappers in the world.

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">That year, Kenin won the WTA Most Improved Player of the Year award. She became the first American player to win that award since Serena Williams in 1999.</span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Kenin's highest rank to date is world number four, which she first achieved in March 2020. She was able to manage the rank due to an Australian Open win and a French Open final. When tennis resumed normally in 2021, Kenin struggled with form. The American player could not find her footing and ended the year ranked 12.</span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">In 2022, her form would become even worse due to an injury which put her out of the French Open and Wimbledon. Even after her return, she was unable to deliver great performances and ended the year ranked 235.?</span>

Now, she goes into the US Open as a crowd favorite. But she has yet to play in a final of any tournament since 2020.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Is Sofia Kenin in a relationship?</span></strong></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">For a short time, Kenin was in a relationship with former coach Max Wenders. He had previously worked with several WTA players. Kenin had disagreements with her father, who left as a coach for a year in 2020. Wanders was never Kenin's official coach, although he became close to the player in 2020.</span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Kenin made their relationship public when she posted a birthday wish on her Instagram story, which included a photo of the couple. The couple separated after a few months for reasons unknown. Wenders was later banned from the sport for 12 years in 2022 when charges of match-fixing and tampering with evidence surfaced.</span>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Why did Kenin split with her father?</span></strong></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Ahead of her 2021 Roland Garros stint, Kenin announced that she will be splitting with her coach, who was also her father. She said that she had a lot of success with her father and felt that now was the time for her to pursue what she wanted to do with her career. Therefore, she separated from her father, but left the room open </span><a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wta-tennis-news-time-for-me-to-do-what-i-wanted-sofia-kenin-opens-up-on-parting-ways-with-her-father/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span data-preserver-spaces="true">for a future reconciliation if needed</span></a><span data-preserver-spaces="true">.</span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Kenin would be glad she did not close that door, as she reinstated her father as her main coach not long after. As Wenders was fired and under controversy, and her form kept falling.</span>
