Sofia Kenin’s nightmare: Coco Gauff serves up double bagel in Miami Open blowout

Coco Gauff Dominates Sofia Kenin with a Double Bagel Victory

Gauff Cruises to Miami Open Round of 32

Coco Gauff made quick work of Sofia Kenin, delivering a flawless 6-0, 6-0 victory to secure her spot in the Miami Open Round of 32. Despite facing a former Grand Slam champion in what seemed like a tricky early-round matchup, the world No. 3 barely broke a sweat, closing out the match in just 47 minutes.

Kenin, struggling with inconsistency throughout, endured one of the toughest losses of her career, exiting the court visibly dejected after failing to win a single game.

First Set: Kenin Struggles as Gauff Dominates

From the outset, Gauff asserted control, racing to an early lead by winning 10 of the first 12 points. Kenin had a brief opportunity to shift momentum with a break point but squandered it with a forehand error.

As the set progressed, Kenin’s unforced errors piled up, while Gauff remained steady, breaking serve twice and establishing a 4-0 lead in just 15 minutes. The 2023 US Open champion barely needed to press, capitalizing on her opponent’s misfires to wrap up the set 6-0. She won 73% of her service points and 67% on return, leaving Kenin with no answers.

Second Set: Gauff Completes the Rout

The second set offered little relief for Kenin, whose struggles only deepened. Although she landed 64% of her first serves, she failed to capitalize, as Gauff’s baseline consistency proved too much.

Gauff continued her relentless dominance, breaking twice more and holding serve with ease. With no resistance from Kenin, the American sealed a commanding 6-0, 6-0 victory, showcasing her supreme form heading into the later rounds.

In the Round of 32, Gauff will face either Lucia Bronzetti or 28th seed Maria Sakkari, whom she already defeated in straight sets at Indian Wells last week.
