What did Sofia Kenin say about Serena Williams?
Kenin was doing a Q&A session on Instagram live like many other tennis stars these days. One of the obvious questions was about the toughest opponent that she has ever faced.
Kenin’s answer was shocking or predictable based on the way in which you read it. Of course, her only big encounter with Serena was at the French Open of 2019. Kenin calls that the turning point of her career as she went on to defeat Serena 6-2, 7-5.
However, she certainly gained a lot of respect for her compatriot. Kenin’s next big engagement with Serena Williams came at the Fed Cup this year. Things had changed now as Kenin was no rookie.

It is difficult to say if we will get to see another match between Sofia Kenin and Serena Williams. It depends on a lot of varying factors. We don’t know how long Serena Williams will continue to play tennis. That will be a deciding factor in a future match up. Everything is based on conjecture until that point comes.
