After winning the 2020 Australian Open title and playing the final at Roland Garros, everything went south for Sofia Kenin.
Now, two years later, world number 312 is trying to make a comeback after many months spent with rehabilitation and recovery. Sofia Kenin is former world number four but this year, she lost 11 out of 15 matches she played and during a National Recovery Month, she reminded her fans about the journey she's been through, by writing:
"Since September is National Recovery Month, I wanted to share some of my own experiences recovering from injury. I hope this can help anyone who is going through something similar! When I injured my ankle, it was really tough not being able to compete and travel," stated Sofia Kenin.
"I saw everyone playing the tournaments I was supposed to be playing in, and of course it made me sad and I felt pretty down. But I knew that I had to put my health first because that is most important, even outside of tennis."
"As soon as I was able, I began going to physical therapy everyday and doing everything I could to get back to doing what I love - playing and competing. Once my body started to heal and I got stronger, I felt better mentally because I knew that soon enough I would be back on the court," Kenin continued.
"I had a great support system to get me through my injury and the team at KT tape was a huge part of that. Keeping a positive mindset and focusing on the bigger picture was super important to me during this time, and it still is as I continue to get better on and off the court!"
