When Kaia Kanepi is on the move, it's hard - sometimes not at all - to stop. Simona Halep had this experience a few years ago at the US Open. And now Sofia Kenin has also got it: The defending champion from the USA had no chance in the second round of the Australian Open 2021, losing to Kanepi 3: 6 and 2: 6. The Estonian, who had already finished Aryna Sabalenka's winning run last week, acted too forcefully .
The other favorites managed to prevail on Thursday against it: Ashleigh Barty won against Daria Gavrilova, Karolina Pliskova defeated Danielle Collins and Belinda Bencic defeated Svetlana Kuznetsova after three tough sets.
