Kenin granted wildcard for CreditOne Charleston Open as comeback continues in star studded line-up

Former Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin has been granted a wildcard entry to the Credit One Charleston Open, and will be making her fifth appearance at the event.

Five top-10 players are already set to compete at this event, and 2020 Australian Open champion Kenin is set to join the star-studded field.

"Adding Sofia to our already strong player field reinforces the level of talent that will be on display in April at the Credit One Charleston Open," said Charleston tournament director Bob Moran. "As a Grand Slam champion and former top 10 player, we are happy to support her return to tennis competition after injuries.

"Our attendees are in for a great nine days of tennis in April, where the best in women’s tennis will be in competition at the Credit One Stadium."

Now ranked 164th, Kenin is hoping to make a deep run at the event, with her best result coming in 2019 and 2021.
