    Sloane Stephens against Sofia Kenin prediction

    Stephens is considered the stronger one. One of the reasons is Kenin’s lack of tennis this season.

    Stephens possesses defensive skills. She has the quality to switch quickly to offense. The former US Open champion knows how to serve. She covers the court while she plays.

    Kenin scores her points from the back of the court. She hits her shots displaying variety and depth. If the 2020 Australian Open champion corrects her unforced errors, she is capable of defeating Stephens.

    However, Stephens played plenty of matches this season.

    Pick: Stephens is expected and predicted to win in straight sets.
