By IANS News March 19, 2025 • 09:54 AM View: 278

Former World No: Sofia Kenin won a first-round clash between Grand Slam champions at the Miami Open to set up a second-round showdown against another Grand Slam champion Coco Gauff.

Kenin, the 2020 Australian Open champion from the United States, defeated new mom and two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic 6-4, 7-5 at the WTA 1000 hard-court event.

Kenin took 1 hour and 25 minutes to level her head-to-head with former Miami champion Kvitova at 2-2. One of Kvitova's wins came here in 2018, but Kenin got the job done this time around in her home state of Florida.
