Sofia Kenin he endured a nine-match losing streak that took him through the Australian Open, Indian Wells, Miami, Charleston and all the way to the red wall.
Sorrow, indeed. But after winning the 125K event in LLeida, two more in Rome, and this week, two more at Roland-Garros the former Australian Open champion and Roland-Garros finalist is feeling great about his tennis again.
“I feel back, yes, I'm happy,” she said on Wednesday after defeating top-ranked Frenchwoman Caroline Garcia on Court Philippe-Chatrier.
“I was on a nine game losing streak this year,” he said. “So I felt I wanted to get that win [in Spain]obviously it helped me in Rome, and winning those two rounds there gave me confidence.

“Even though Strasbourg (a first-round loss to Chloe Pacquet in the qualifiers) wasn't the best, I'm glad it will come together here because, obviously, this is the place where you want everything to come together.”
Kenin has a thing for Paris, and in court he told the crowd that he felt like he had a connection with Court Philippe-Chatrier.
It's hard to argue with that. The American has a career record of 13-4 at Roland-Garros – in the other three majors he is 24-18 combined.
“I like the red clay,” said Kenin, who will face either Jelena Ostapenko or Clara Tauson in the third round. “I think it suits my game. I try to use it to my advantage, and I like the courts here. Especially playing in Philippe-Chatrier was very special and memorable. I feel very comfortable in that court. I have some amazing memories there, so I'm trying to use that to my advantage.”
