American tennis star Sofia Kenin grabbed the headlines with a stunning victory over talented rising star Coco Gauff in a thrilling match at Wimbledon. Kenin, once ranked among the top 10 players in the WTA, overcame challenges in her career to claim a hard-fought win.

Kenin’s path to this pivotal moment has been filled with a fair amount of success and loss. After winning the 2020 Australian Open title and being crowned the WTA Player of the Year, Kenin faced a series of setbacks that disturbed her progress. Battling multiple injuries, she has been absent from the court for extended periods of time, casting doubt on a once-promising career.

Mixed reactions on Twitter after Kenin’s supposed “upset”

In a tight three-set match, Kenin’s match against Coco Gauff was a turning point in her journey. The competition pitted experience against youth, as Gauff presented a tough challenge, but Kenin won the match 6-4, 4-6, 6-2. Wimbledon posted a clip of Kenin’s winning moment which immediately went viral.

Following Kenin’s stunning victory over Gauff, discussions on social media debated whether it was “upset”. Some fans considered it an upset because Gauff is a rising star, who is currently ranked at no. 7, while Kenin had been out of the spotlight for a while and is currently ranked at No. 128. However, it must be remembered that Kenin has had great success by winning the 2020 Australian Open while Gauff is showing great potential but is yet to win a Grand Slam title.
