Williams Venus vs Kenin Sofia preview

Venus Williams faces Sofia Kenin in the first round of the 2026 WTA US Open, with the match scheduled for August 31, 2026, at 00:40 UTC. This encounter at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center marks the first career meeting between the two American players.

Venus Williams enters the tournament seeking her first singles match win at a Grand Slam since Wimbledon in 2021. The 46-year-old has recorded a 0-11 singles record across 12 events during the 2026 season. Conversely, Sofia Kenin, currently ranked No. 110 in the WTA, has struggled for consistency in major tournaments this year. Kenin exited in the first round of both the Australian Open and the French Open, followed by a second-round appearance at Wimbledon. While Kenin has previously reached the fourth round of the US Open in 2020, she has not advanced past the second round in New York since that campaign.
