Sofia Kenin and Anna Blinkova, two players struggling for form in 2026, meet next at the Miami Open. They will face off in the first round to record their fourth career meeting. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Kenin has lost seven matches in a row. She hasn’t won since starting the season by winning her opening round tie in Brisbane. The former Australian Open champion was ousted in the first round at Indian Wells last time out.
Despite her struggles, she start the week up two places, 44th in the live ranking. Kenin has twice previously beaten Blinkova, more recently last year in Hobart. The 27-year-old is making her seventh appearance in Miami and has lost just once in the first round here.
Blinkova has missed just one edition in Miami since making her main draw debut in 2021. Last year, she recorded her best finish as she reached the third round.
She will be hoping for at the very least such a run as she seeks to find some footing after a torrid start to the year.
The Russian, just like Kenin, has won just one of her eight fixtures. She started the season with five straight losses.
But after winning her opening fixture at Indian Wells, she is right back on a negative streak. Blinkova is coming off a first-round exit in Austin and starts the week having dropped to 96th in the live ranking.
