This article has been viewed enough times in a single week to appear in the Top 25 Report. The week in which this happened:
"and partnering with Jim Courier as part of an exhibition against Venus Williams and Todd Martin." - was it an exhibition match or tournament?
Added "event". I don't know if they played an actual match
I do not understand how the family has became citizen of United Stated? How it was possible 1987 to work as a nurse without legal papers?
If Sofia Kenin has been born in the USA it could be easier.
So who could explain me?
"with the Williams sisters, Sloane Stephens, and Madison Keys unavailable for the United States, and Plíšková and Petra Kvitová unavailable for the Czech Republic." - the reptition of the word unavailable needs to be addressed
"She can disguise whether her backhand is going cross court or down the line very well." - choose a more formal alternative word than the one highlighted in bold
"Kvitová also remarked Kenin plays very aggressively," - how about also noted Kenin's aggressive playing style,
Changed to "Kvitová also remarked that Kenin plays very aggressively"
"a trait Kenin's father said she developed in 2017 in her first full year on the pro tour." - better: in her first full season on the professional tour in 2017.
Changed to "in 2017, her first full season on the professional tour in 2017."

Many users keep inserting "Russian-born" into the lead. This is directly against Wikipedia rules for biography leads (Per MOS:Ethnicity which verbatim states, "The opening paragraph should usually provide context for the activities that made the person notable. In most modern-day cases this will be the country of which the person is a citizen, national or permanent resident, or if the person is notable mainly for past events, the country where the person was a citizen, national or permanent resident when the person became notable. Ethnicity, religion, or sexuality should generally not be in the lead unless it is relevant to the subject's notability. Similarly, previous nationalities or the place of birth should not be mentioned in the lead unless they are relevant to the subject's notability." The subject's notability occurred in the United States, as solely a U.S. citizen, representing the USA in tennis. Her birth in Russia has no justifiable position in the lead as she has neither represented Russia, nor even retains Russian nationality (see source here from NY Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/02/sports/sofia-kenin-amanda-anisimova.html).

There seems to be some issues with nickname placement in this article. Per MOS:NICKNAME it is appropriate to put the nickname in the lead when they are best known for the nickname, or it is an alias. Has this been established for Sophia Kenin? I just keep hearing Sophia on tv. We certainly don't put it mid-name in the lead unless the article is titled under the nickname, but where best should it go? To me it seems like unless it is used as often or more often than Sophia, it should be kept in the "Early life and background" section of the article. Thoughts?

Then it should be done differently with no pronunciation needed (especially for a nickname). Twitter and Instagram use Sofia and her own website has her first name as Sophia so I'm not convinced. Fyunck(click) (talk) 05:53, 10 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
