MELBOURNE, Australia - Defending Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin is putting her leg soreness down to the 14 days spent in quarantine and not able to play competitive matches until this week. After a three-week delay, to cater for the strict COVID-19 protocols Down Under, the Australian Open starts Monday. Two-time Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka and Elina Svitolina are in her quarter. “Everyone is using this tournament to prepare for Australian Open,“ she said. “But everyone’s obviously going to be ready for Australian Open, for sure.”Loading...
