I noticed that, too. Maybe she does that as a way to keep her head and body still while she lifts her left arm so she can maintain a proper toss trajectory. Moving the head while tossing can actually cause the toss to go astray. It's interesting to note also that some players look first to where the ball is supposed to go/where it will be struck before they toss for that same reason. Kenin's way seems to work for her, but there's a bit of a rushed motion with her head once she's released the ball to see the ball to hit it.
Kenin is totally another player now from 2 weeks ago...getting Double bageled by azarenka 6-0 6-0... She has such a good mindset to continue to battle and scrape by these tough matches.
Kenin seems pretty great, she's not the first player I typically gravitate towards rooting for, but she's really winning me over. Hope she can win it all!
Certainly. A naughty noise maker like the French crowd... she is not pretty for sure. Kenin on the other hand is out for biz, looking for opponent's weakness and have some sprite and fight in her strides... the not too distant world number one 💪🏾
It is just her scream that lets her down when she wins a point. I guess its just because she has so much passion. But notice how she applauds Kenin when she wins the match. Shes not like a Putintseva that sulks when she loses a point, but just gets on with it.
Excited to watch the Sofia v. Petra match. I don't think it will be an easy win for Petra just like I don't think it will be an easy win for Sofia. I could see either taking it but would give Sofia a slight edge because I think she plays better under pressure.
Petra's a 2 time gs champion, like 5 time fed cup champion, Olympic medalist, former world #2. She knows how to play and win in pressure situations. Yes, Kenin is very mentally tough most times, but she also lost to Azarenka 6-0, 6-0 less than two weeks ago. I think it will be a very close match and Kenin might have a slight edge because of the surface, but Petra could steamroll her if she's on
@@americanpatriot7233 I think you may have a point... she's absolutely unbeatable if playing her best, which she seems to be able to do now that she's won as both the underdog (Halep) and the favorite (Trevisan). Excited for the final!
Congratulations Sonya on a great win against a very talented player. It's a pleasure to see you play expertly and with such a graceful motion! You make it look easy! Well done 👍 Here's hoping for your second Grand Slam!
I really love Kenin very steady top 10 player! Love her technique beautiful dropshots very strong mentally. Really like her congrats America to have her as player.
Why is that the men almost always have friendly racquet taps after the match and say nice things to each other while the women almost always have cold meetings at the net where they barely even look at each other?
Your comment is subjective, not objective (that means what you’ve stated is an opinion, not a fact.) I’ve seen just as many men give cold exchanges at the end of a match; you are just conveniently choosing to focus on the women. You are a misogynist and a sexist.
She will play against Petra in the semi Idk if she could win or not because She is unpredictable.... She might win RG tho She has this one fighter spirit which is amazing
@@kevincragun5853 says the person not playing in the QF of the French Open. Who Cares? the screaming is annoying...yea yea not allowed to comment, as I'm not in QF (neither are you).
Why is coco gauff getting crazy attention when Kenin is the one out here winning slams! Edit: I am a fan of coco. Just because I ask a question about 2 American players, doesn’t make it about race.All you who are telling me my motives and making about race are the true racists.
For me I can't choose between Petra and Sofia coz both are amazing players. Petra will always be my favorite win or lose and getting this far for the 2nd time around is already a remarkable experience for her. I don't have any problem if Iga, Nadia, Sofia or Petra wins Roland Garros coz they're all deserving.
That annoying scream again.. Collins looks pretty and a good player, but doesn't have a charming personality in the tennis courts. Probably this is the reason why she isn't sponsored by Nike.
Congrats Sonya! Super proud of you! Once you get into the winning zone like 3rd set you play on a very high level. Love the drop shots. Good luck for semi finals. You can win RG 2020!
Well done Sofia K! Just finished watching the clip taken when you were 7.......and (very seriously) discussing how you would return Andy Roddick's serve...cute but scary (so determined at that young age). A good run for Collins.
I have to say, good on Kenin for fighting on after the double beagle loss to Azarenka at the US Open. Those types of losses would put doubt in your mind that your worthy to play at the top. But look at her! Semi Final at Roland Garros for the first time in her career!
Wow she bagled Collins in the deciding set.. Sofia needs to win another slam so her Australian grand slam win is not a fluke, like that of ostapenko French open slam win
YES. Let’s GO Sofia Kenin! I hope she makes it to the final round of this tournament (2020 French Open). She won the 2019 Australian Open (beating Garbine M.) so she is definitely one of the key young players in the women’s game. Remember, Sofia Kenin beat Serena Williams in the 3rd round (?) at the 2019 French Open (or one of the Grand Slams - I can’t remember which one).
That bitch Collins though she would irritate kenin with self encouraging screams after winning 2nd set😂 Well done sofia for an amazing tournament so far I've been watching every match of yours and cheering for you since the start of RG ,you've gone far & only few steps have remained . Love you💗 keep believing young champ🇺🇸👏
Hart K Oh okay, got it. I didn’t watch the Rome competition. I don’t think Sofia’s head was in that game - I watched the match highlights. I feel that Sofia is the type of player who brings her A-game only at Grand Slam tournaments. Yet again, what player wouldn’t bring their A-game to a Grand Slam?!?! Haha.
ron macdonald meaning she will never win a slam unless everything goes right. She can have the ranking you know that ultimate priZe you ain’t thinking about her
If you don't menstrate you wouldn't understand. If you do, then you would. Not saiying she is, but maybe. Or maybe she's injured and in pain and holding it together for the match and then relieved when the match is done.
It is not persuasive match of Kenin, Collins I run out of words after 4 double faults each match, but I notice Kenin is overusing her drop shots now, even that is her weapon, but she must use it wisely. There are many net points and I think they are amateur players, very awful and reckless
@Julian Thai They are using more drop shots on both the men's and women's sides this year at RG, due to the unusually damp and cold conditions (which lets balls die faster on impact w/the surface) -- especially, as Gaston showed vs Thiem (under "normal" RG conditions, Thiem would've easily put them away).

Congrats Sofia. Hope you win the title! Amazing run by Collins. Good to see US players doing so well on clay.
Bruh Kenin hit 8 more winners than unforced errors. That's a clean match...
Great job Sofia! First ever win against her! I really hope you win RG 2020!!
how does Kenin's serve work? I mean, she doesn't look at the ball at the beginning of her serving motion ... lol
It's kinda beautiful, isn't it.
I love it.

Ikr like she just finds the ball in the air
I do the Edberg bit where you don't look while striking your serve but I need to see it go up in the air!
Players have all kinds of crazy stuff in the beginning of the motion, but all end up the same in the moments before contact.
Kenin is totally another player now from 2 weeks ago...getting Double bageled by azarenka 6-0 6-0... She has such a good mindset to continue to battle and scrape by these tough matches.
What match was that where Azarenka bageled Kenin? 2020 U.S. Open?

j p - Oh okay, thanks.
That warmth at the end at the net is a beautiful
Thing
I must have missed that.
On a more controversial note I heard Nadal and Kenin had breakfast together, they both had coffee and bagels.
that's a lie they didn't have breakfast together, no clue what bagels are
@@americanpatriot7233 bagels are sets that go 6-0. Kenin gave Danielle a bagel

1:52 Kenin's anticipation was superb!
That double bagel against azarenka turned out to be a great wake up call for kenin. Really happy for her. I hope she wins this tournament.
man chill she has faced only no seeds we will see in thursday
Kenin seems pretty great, she's not the first player I typically gravitate towards rooting for, but she's really winning me over. Hope she can win it all!

she is!!! Extremely unpleasant with an oversized ego....
I use to really not like her but I do now..

Collins deserved that bagel after the horrifying screech she unleashed upon the world.
Many women screech every time they hit, but nobody is allowed to complain about that. I’d rather listen to Collins than Halep, Sabalenka or Azerenka.
Collins is just a nasty piece of work

Please root for Petra I put 50$ on her to win tournament

kennin has had the best women's outfit all tournament long.
KENIN IS PLAYING SO WELL!
Plays great, always looks on the verge of tears. It works so good on ya
That post-match racquet tap as cold as it gets on the WTA tour
Well done ladies! Strong tennis playing. Sofia is looking stronger and still laser focused on the plays and win at the end! KEEP GOING SOFIA!
Both Kenin and Tsitsipas were born in 1998 and are shining in this tournament
neither one will win the french open
Wow, Sofia Canon on the way for 2nd GS!
nope iga will win the french open

Always a gracious player Collins

You're blind!!!! Yannick Noah
why is Kenin always like about to burst into tears when coming to the net? even if she won.

It's another tough match against Kvitova next. She's showing some real power.
Congrats Sofia😍😎🔥
collins frustration is palpable every match
At least we got an american in the semis lets go Kenin 🇺🇲
Sofia Kenin 加油喔
The way Kenin serves is weird but very measured one.
Who would ever expect Kenin got this far or prob further after those double bagels 😆
Which double bagels? - as in, what match did that happen in? I’m a bit behind in tennis matches this year.
ohaggie previous tournament > Rome 1st rd to Azarenka

Why do i have the feeling women are not as friendly to eachother like men?^^ (Talking about the “handshake” after a match)
Collins is just not well liked, she is not a warm and fuzzy!
Kenin is still a casual
casual? meaning?
ron macdonald meaning she will never win a slam unless everything goes right. She can have the ranking you know that ultimate priZe you ain’t thinking about her
@@dawsnoshift Kind of funny....most people think she won the Australian last year...many think the Australian is a Grand Slam.
Speed of Kenin neutralized the power of Collins. I did not expect that bagel. I will pick Kenin over Kvitova because she dispatched tougher opponents.
Not a very nice exchange at the net from Collins. What did I miss? I get that she would be disappointed but still...
Called she’s a bitch
Can sb explain me the hate on collins
She is very loud and very frequent with her celebrations after good points and very emotionally demonstrative overall. It annoys people.
she needs to stfu..this aint college tennis
She's very stoic and not endearing at all. It makes it hard to like her.
Look up the way she spoke to her boyfriend during the match. Charming. lol
No charm, poor sportsmanship, arrogant
wtf was that grunt at 1:00 lol
Love the way Collins yelling "Come on!"
Collins played well, Kenin played better. Collins did applaud the winner in match point. Give her a break.
Come on Sofia this lefty Amazon Czech worries me. I’m pulling hard for you Kenin! 👁🎾👏🏻🤙
Kenin on fire, your defense is terrified, Nah, nah, nah, nah.....
I just like the way walks and bounce around I mean Sofia 😁😁😁
Pretty satisfying having 2 of our American ladies show up in the quarters on this surface.
who gives a shit if they are american?? America is complete joke..Trumpland.

is that true?
which game?
Wow Collins had no answer in that third. Ouch.
the way Kenin stumps in the court kinda irks me 😂😂
Its weird to see a player that trains in the USA move so well on clay.
They both are seem not a good friend..
Maybe one likes Trump and the other likes Biden. Which would both be terrible lol.

Based on the way they act in competition? lol okay...

no gas in the third set

nice to see 2 americans in the quarters on clay. shame theres no one in mens tennis
