NEW YORK - Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin breezed into round three of the US Open in straight sets on Thursday .
The number two seed dispatched unseeded Canadian Leylah Fernandez 6-4, 6-3 inside an empty Arthur Ashe Stadium. Kenin is yet to drop a set at Flushing Meadows as she bids for her second Grand Slam title of the year, and of her career.
