When Sofia Kenin and Coco Gauff [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/cori-gauff/] turned up play on Sunday in the 2020 Australian Open, [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/tennis/australian-open/]the combined age of the two players was less than the age of the oldest player in the competition. But the maturity the duo showed during the match was a testament of the kind of talents they were. They showed impressive temperament when the first set went into a tie-breaker. 15-year old Gauff was coming into the match having already beaten the likes of Venus Williams and Naomi Osaka. However, she could not do enough to go past Kenin on Sunday. Coco Gauff [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/merlin_167698491_21d76f00-8b96-4b8c-8128-0c4c80375d28-superJumbo-1024x683.jpg]Coco Gauff Kenin, 21, came back impressively after losing the first set in a tiebreaker winning the match 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-0. After the win, Kenin said that she came a long way from not being recognized to being feared. “I know that people always fear me, which is good. I have established myself, I have worked hard to get to where I am, I remember the position where people didn’t really fear me. They didn’t know me or anything. So I had to establish myself,” she said. “I think it’s good they know I am a tough competitor. I am going to fight there, it gives me a lot of confidence I am doing something right, and I am just going to keep it going.” SOFIA KENIN TO PLAY ONS JABEUR IN THE QUARTERFINALS After the win over Coco Gauff, Kenin booked a berth in the quarterfinals against world no. 78 Ons Jaber. After defeating Johanna Konta and Caroline Garcia in the first two rounds, the Tunisian tennis player defeated Caroline Wozniacki [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/caroline-wozniacki/] in what was her final tennis match [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tennis-wta-twitter-reacts-as-caroline-wozniacki-played-for-one-last-time-at-the-australian-open-2020/]. Jabeur beat Japan’s Wang Qiang in the fourth round to book a Quarterfinal birth against Kenin.

<h2><strong>Australian Open: Latest News, Results and Records</strong></h2>
The Australian Open is the youngest of all the Grand Slams, having first started in 1905.

The tournament holds the record for the highest attendance at a Grand Slam event, where 743,667 people attended during the 2018 edition of the Australian Open. It also has the honor of being the first Grand Slam tournament to feature indoor play during wet weather or extreme heat.

There are three main courts, the Rod Laver Arena, the Melbourne Arena and the Margaret Court Arena. Aside from that, they have courts 7 to 15 and even court 19 and 20. The tournament first became open to all from 1969 onwards, a year after the remaining 3 did so.

In the women's side of the game, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/serena-williams/">Serena Williams</a> is the most successful player with seven titles to her credit. Again, this was set in the Open era. Overall, Williams is still four behind tennis legend Margaret Court.

The youngest winner in the men's singles game was Australian player Ken Rosewall. Meanwhile, on the women's side, it was Martina Hingis. The players were 18 years, 2 months and 16 years, 4 months old respectively.

With regard to the oldest players, Rosewall bagged this crown at the aged 37 years and 2 months.

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Sofia Anna "Sonya" Kenin is a professional tennis player from the United States of America. She has a career-high ranking of No. 4, which she attained on March 9, 2020.</span>

[caption id="attachment_482816" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-482816 size-full" src="https://www.staging.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1203337700.jpg" alt="Sofia Kenin - Australian Open" width="1920" height="1280" /> Sofia Kenin of the United States poses with the Daphne Akhurst Memorial Cup after her Women's Singles?Final match against Garbine Muguruza of Spain&gt; on day thirteen of the 2020 Australian Open at Melbourne Park on February 01, 2020 in Melbourne, Australia. (Photo by Cameron Spencer/Getty Images)[/caption]

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">She was named WTA Player of the Year in 2020 after winning the Australian Open and finishing as the runner-up at the French Open.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Sofia Kenin: Net worth 2023</span></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">The former number four has earned a total sum of $8,539,653, according to the official website of </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">the WTA Tour</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">. In 2020, she was ranked 8th in Forbes' list of the highest-paid female athletes in the world, earning $5.8 million. Kenin has an estimated net worth of $3 million, as per various sources.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Sofia Kenin: Net Endorsements 2023</span></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Initially, Kenin was sponsored by Nike. She later found new sponsors in Fila, who sponsored her clothing and shoes between 2018 and 2022. Kenin has been sponsored by the American athletics organisation Free People Movement since 2022. She is sponsored by Babolat and plays with the Pure Drive racket. Kenin inked an endorsement arrangement with Motorola, an American consumer electronics and telecommunications firm, in January 2021.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Early life and education</span></strong></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Sofia Anna "Sonya" Kenin was born on November 14, 1998, in Moscow, Russia, in a house of Jewish faith. Her parents, Svetlana and Alexander Kenin, left the Soviet Union in 1987 and emigrated to the United States. But they moved back to Russia for Sofia's birth. Her family relocated to the United States shortly after she was born. Her mother was a nurse in the Soviet Union, and her parents arrived in the United States with only $286.</span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Kenin began playing tennis at the age of five, inspired by her father, who had previously played recreationally. Her parents recognised her ability and set up a training session with Rick Macci in Broward County, Florida. Macci coached Kenin for seven years until she was twelve years old. Serena Williams' former instructor praised her and referred to her as the "</span><em><span data-preserver-spaces="true">scariest little creature</span></em><span data-preserver-spaces="true">."</span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">With her major title, her WTA rankings skyrocketed.

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">In 2019, she began her year with a title in Hobart.

<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>

Her parents, Svetlana and Alexander Kenin, left the Soviet Union in 1987 and emigrated to the United States. But they moved back to Russia for Sofia&#8217;s birth.

REUTERS/Gonzalo Fuentes Kenin began playing tennis at the age of five, inspired by her father, who had previously played recreationally. Her parents recognised her ability and set up a training session with Rick Macci in Broward County, Florida. Macci coached Kenin for seven years until she was twelve years old. Serena Williams&#8217; former instructor praised her and referred to her as the &#8220;scariest little creature.&#8221; Read More -?Indian Wells Lives Up to Expectations as Fans Capture Salty Handshake Drama Between American Stars Sofia Kenin and Sloane Stephens How many majors does Sofia Kenin have? Sofia Kenin has won five WTA titles, and her Grand Slam breakthrough came at?the Australian Open?2020. She toppled top-seed?Ashleigh Barty?in the semifinals and defeated the two-time major champion?Garbine Muguruza?in the finals. With her major title, her WTA rankings skyrocketed. She was ranked number seven in the world and surpassed the American legend?Serena Williams?in the rankings scale and became the number one American. In 2019, she began her year with a title in Hobart. Later, she reached the fourth round at?the French Open?and defeated Serena Williams in the third round. Kenin won another title in Mallorca by defeating?Belinda Bencic?in the finals. She won her third WTA singles title in Guangzhou.

(Photo by Quinn Rooney/Getty Images) 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. Kenin&#8217;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. 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.?

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.

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 for a future reconciliation if needed.
