‘I Was a Bit Nervous’- Former Australian Grand Slam Winner Sofia Kenin Details Her Meeting With Boxing Legend Mike Tyson and His Adorable Daughter

Sofia Kenin was one of the youngest Americans to win a Grand Slam women’s singles title. She won her maiden Grand Slam title at the Australian Open in 2020. The only American to achieve this before, at such a young age, was Serena Williams in 1999. 

Subsequently, she carried her form into the French Open, finishing second best to Iga Swiatek. Since her raging success early on in 2020, Sofia Kenin’s career has not continued its meteoric rise since then as she may have hoped. Recently, in an interview, she shared her happy moments of meeting Mike Tyson and his daughter Mila Tyson.

The 23-year-old had a strong start to the year, advancing to the semi-finals of the Adelaide International 1 competition. But ever since then, she’s been on a losing streak, getting eliminated in the first round of every tournament she’s entered. The last time she competed was at the 2022 US Open when she was defeated by Germany’s Jule Niemeier in the first round.
