For the first time in a long time, the former fourth racket of the world managed to get to the final of the WTA tournament. Kenin clearly reminded people of herself and that it is too early to write her off. In the semi-final, Sofia quite confidently beat Katie Boulter in two sets (6-4, 6-4). Before that, she went through Xin Yu Wang, Tauson and Kasatkina in the tournament grid. As you can see, the American did not have the easiest opponents.
