Sofia Kenin returns a shot to Ons Jabeur during the third round of the US Open tennis championships on Saturday.
Jabeur, ranked 31 in the world, broke to take a 4-2 lead in the opening set as Kenin struggled to control her serve, but the American immediately responded with a break of her own before grabbing the early advantage in the contest via a tiebreak. Playing superb tennis from the baseline, she went 2-0 up before Jabeur broke back, but the 21-year-old raised her game once again and held firm to close out the win.Kenin, who said she had been feeling some pressure after her Melbourne triumph, had lost in straight sets in her only warm-up event before the US Open.
“But it’s good to have this pressure … it means you’re the favourite, people look up to you so. Pressure is a privilege.”
