Full Match Video: Kenin vs. Vandeweghe, 2019

With the current suspension of the ATP and WTA Tours, we are opening up our US Open vault to bring you full match videos of classic encounters through the years in New York. 

Sofia Kenin entered the 2019 US Open as a rising star, her No. 20 seed matching her age. Some four months before her major breakthrough at the Australian Open, she reached the third round in New York for the third straight year, racking up her 25th and 26th hard-court wins of 2019—a year that began with her first WTA title, at the Hobart International in Australia.

CoCo Vandeweghe, a 2017 US Open semifinalist, used a protected ranking to enter the 2019 tournament after a right-ankle injury had sidelined her for the better part of a year.

Despite their diverging paths to New York, the two Americans traded blow for blow throughout the first set in the Grandstand. Strong serving from both women led to a tiebreak, with no service breaks in the opener. As the match wore on, the younger Kenin created separation from her then-27-year-old opponent to advance.

She would ultimately fall to No. 10 seed Madison Keys in another all-American encounter in Round 3.
