Early life and background
[edit]- "but returned to Russia for Sonya's birth so that other members of their family" - other family members
- "and her parents had very little money when they first moved" - "very" is redundant
- Removed. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 19:02, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
- "Kenin had the opportunity to interact with ATP and WTA professional tennis players as a young kid," - child is formal
- "and partnering with Jim Courier as part of an exhibition against Venus Williams and Todd Martin." - was it an exhibition match or tournament?
- Added "event". I don't know if they played an actual match
I do not understand how the family has became citizen of United Stated? How it was possible 1987 to work as a nurse without legal papers? If Sofia Kenin has been born in the USA it could be easier. So who could explain me?
Junior career
[edit]- "she moved up to the Grade 1 level." - progressed
- Wikilink Junior Fed Cup to Junior Davis Cup and Junior Fed Cup
- "With the title, she earned a wild card into the main draw of the 2015 US Open." - Wikilink wild card to Wild card (sports)
2013–17: US Open debut, three ITF titles
[edit]- "Kenin began playing in a few low-level tournaments on the ITF circuit in 2013" - how many tournaments exactly?
- Got rid of "in a few"
- "She broke into the top 150 in August" - progressed into
- "Kenin advanced beyond the first round of a grand slam for the first time," - grand slam tournament}
2018: Top 50, first top 10 victory
[edit]- "She broke into the top 100 by reaching the second round" - entered
- "After losing all five of her WTA Tour matches on clay in both main draws and qualifying."- both the main draws and qualifying.
- Changed to "across main draws and qualifying" Sportsfan77777 (talk) 19:02, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
- "These results helped Kenin break into the top 50 for the first time." - advance
2019: Maiden WTA titles in singles and doubles
[edit]- "ultimately losing in a long two-hour-and-thirty minute match." - "long" is redundant
- Left, because the reader might not know what constitutes a long match. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 19:02, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
National representation
[edit]- "with the Williams sisters, Sloane Stephens, and Madison Keys unavailable for the United States, and Plíšková and Petra Kvitová unavailable for the Czech Republic." - the reptition of the word unavailable needs to be addressed
- Changed to "Both teams were missing their best players, with the Williams sisters, Sloane Stephens, and Madison Keys for the United States, as well as Plíšková and Petra Kvitová for the Czech Republic all unavailable." Sportsfan77777 (talk) 19:02, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
- Wikilink rubber to Dead rubber for readers who are unfamiliar with Tennis terminology
- There is no dead rubber in the article. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 19:02, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
Playing style
[edit]- Wikilink forehand, backhand and drop shot to their repsective articles for non-Tennis readers
- "She can disguise whether her backhand is going cross court or down the line very well." - choose a more formal alternative word than the one highlighted in bold
- Changed to "She excels at disguising whether her backhand is going cross court or down the line." Sportsfan77777 (talk) 19:02, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
- "Kvitová also remarked Kenin plays very aggressively," - how about also noted Kenin's aggressive playing style,
- Changed to "Kvitová also remarked that Kenin plays very aggressively"
- "a trait Kenin's father said she developed in 2017 in her first full year on the pro tour." - better: in her first full season on the professional tour in 2017.
- Changed to "in 2017, her first full season on the professional tour in 2017."
