It was the Australian Open in 2020. American tennis star, Sofia Kenin, hadn’t been beyond the fourth round of a Grand Slam tournament. However, in that tournament, Kenin had made it to the finals and was up against an experienced Garbine Muguruza in the summit clash. In the biggest match of her career, Kenin triumphed over her Spanish opponent in a hard-fought three-set match, winning it 4–6, 6–2, 6–2. Moreover, it was her maiden Grand Slam title victory and the biggest title of her career.

Subsequently, she carried her form into the French Open, finishing second best to Iga Swiatek that year. Since her raging success early on in 2020, Kenin’s career has gone on a downward trajectory. Recently, she caught up with the boxing legend, Mike Tyson.

The former World Number 4 took to Instagram to share glimpses of her outing with Mike Tyson and his daughter, Milan. She said, “Met the legend himself @miketyson & got a little practice in with @milantyson. Thanks for a fun day guys!”

Tyson’s daughter, Milan, is an avid tennis fan. Earlier this year, she was spotted practicing on-court with French coach Patrick Mouratoglou. Additionally, she has also practiced with stars like Coco Gauff, apart from Kenin.
