American star Sofia Kenin has been playing some of her best tennis in 2020. At the start of the year, she won the Australian Open after coming back from a set down. And now, she has reached her first final at the French Open. Seeing this, Serena Williams’ coach Patrick Mouratoglou had a lot of complimentary things to say about her. He said:
“Her no.1 quality is her mental toughness. That was very obvious also in the Australian Open, where she won the title. She’s a tough player, she’s only business when she is on the court and you can see it. She’s tough with the opponents sometimes, but that’s her quality. So, she’s right to be, probably. She’s extremely good on the big points, she’s not shaking and if she does shake, she immediately regroups and comes back.”
