Maya Joint vs Sofia Kenin prediction
Maya Joint kicks off her 2026 season aiming to crack the top 30.
The 19-year-old is operating at a career-high of 32 but will face a tricky opener in Adelaide against former Australian Open champion, Sofia Kenin.
The American fell at the second hurdle in Brisbane last week and will hope for a deeper run here as she bids to find some strong form heading to Melbourne Park, where she triumphed back in 2020.
This will be their third meeting with Joint leading the head-to-head 2-0 without dropping a set.
There’s very little between them in terms of ranking and it may well come down to match sharpness and their respective game-plans.
Joint may be a smidgen behind in matchplay but she knows how to beat Kenin and those tactics may well be the deciding factor.
