Victoria Azarenka vs Sofia Kenin prediction
Two former Grand Slam winners collide here in what should prove a fascinating encounter. Both Victoria Azarenka and Sofia Kenin played excellent tennis in round one, with Azarenka inflicting a double bagel upon Yanina Wickmayer, winning 6-0, 6-0. The 35-year-old landed her first serve 79% of the time and also won six of eight break points, underlining her dominance.
Kenin meanwhile, only dropped four games in her win over Varvara Gracheva as the former French Open finalist impressed with her all-round player. But when taking into account how well Azarenka played last time out, Kenin will need to raise her levels further assuming her opponent doesn’t let her own performance regress.
This is a contest that really could go either way. Azarenka at her best can take out the seeded Kenin, but the USA star is an aggressive player who won’t let Azarenka dominate her across the court. Regardless of the final outcome, backing this one to go three sets long looks a shrewd move.
