Bianca Andreescu, after winning her first WTA level match on Monday, was right back at it Tuesday against Sofia Kenin.
Kenin is the defending Charleston finalist. But if you had to categorize her, she – like Andreescu – once was a Grand Slam champion, and is trying to find that level again.
They won consecutive Slams: Andrescu the US Open in 2019, and Kenin the Australian Open in early 2020. Kenin was just too solid.
Leylah Fernandez, after a bye, faced qualifier Polina Kuderetova (ex of Russia, newly of Uzbekhistan) in her Charleston opener.
And a battle of two more players once at the top, but struggling to get back in Maria Sakkari and Paula Badosa. Badosa took in in straight sets.
