French Open.

Kenin's championship run at the Australian Open was highlighted by a victory over home favourite and world number one Ashleigh Barty of Australia.
Before that title, her best result at a Grand Slam tournament came at the 2019 French Open, where she defeated Williams and made it to the fourth round.
Kenin defeated France's Fiona Ferro in the fourth round to proceed to this year's French Open quarterfinals where she will face either Ons Jabeur of Tunisia or USA's Danielle Collins.

The promising player says she is enjoying herself in the court at the French Open and therefore was executing the drop-shots as they are effective on the clay surface.
“Yeah, I love doing the drop shot that’s what I do. But like I said on the surface you obviously should do drop shots cause it’s really effective," Kenin said.
"So far it has been working really good for me and towards the end, I just started to drop-shotting cause I wanted to drop-shot for fun.
“Just the confidence. Honestly, I feel like I played some really good tennis. I started off the year really well the best day, the best moments of my life."
