Sofia Kenin is displaying great tennis in this 2024 WTA Tokyo tournament, moving towards the semifinals where she will face the British player Katie Boulter. The American player, a Grand Slam winner, secured her twelfth victory against a Top 10 player in her career by defeating Daria Kasatkina, marking her second win over a Top 10 player in 2024 as the year comes to a close. The progress she is making in the rankings this week will determine the upcoming months for Kenin, who aims to compete for major trophies once again.

Special Victory over Daria Kasatkina

"I tried to impose my game," she began saying minutes after the match ended in front of the media. "She is an opponent who retrieves many balls, is having a great year, coming from a win in Ningbo, and I knew it would be a tough match. I tried to play my tennis, and I am pleased with the result," said the former world number 4 on the central court of the tournament.

Her tactical play, key to her evolution

"I try to use drop shots a lot. I always aim to have a wide range in my tennis, and for now, it is working." This way, Kenin quickly breaks her streak of three consecutive losses, with her season balance being quite tough, not managing to achieve more than two consecutive victories throughout the year. However, she had stood out in recent months in doubles, winning two titles, one in Abu Dhabi and the other in Miami. It seems that now is her time to shine once again in singles as well. Whether she continues winning in the Japanese capital or not, regaining confidence will be the greatest reward for Kenin this week. Her next match will be against Katie Boulter in the semifinals.
