Kenin reaches French Open semis after beating Collins
Sofia Kenin extended her run of success at Grand Slam tournaments this year by beating Danielle Collins 6-4, 4-6, 6-0 to reach the French Open semifinals.
Kenin has now won a tour-leading 15 matches at majors this year. She started the year by winning the Australian Open and then reached the fourth round at the U.S. Open last month.
Collins hadn’t dropped a set in her three previous meetings with Kenin.
Collins won a rain-delayed three-set quarterfinal over Ons Jabeur a day earlier. She left the court for a medical time out while trailing Kenin 4-0 in the third set.
It wasn’t immediately clear what was bothering Collins but she told the trainer that it was “unbearable.”
Kenin’s semifinal opponent will be two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova.
