Kenin Coming off Auckland Second Round Exit
It was a bitter-sweet showing from Kenin in the first round of the WTA Auckland last week.
For starters, she hadn’t quite started off as an overwhelming favourite in her opening round match against Xinyu Wang, and yet came through in straight sets. Kenin was pushed to a tie-breaker in the opening set but went on to win 7-6 (6), 6-3 to make it to round two.
In the second, coming up against Cori Gauff, not too much was expected from Kenin who started off a 7/2 underdog. And surely enough, Gauff won in two, but not before Kenin had showed she was capable of greater things as she makes progress with her fitness concerns.
Coming up against Lin here, Kenin now starts off as a favourite for that very reason and another solid showing here could give her a chance to take on the second seeded Elise Mertens – more up her alley than Gauff was in the second round last week.

Lin Shows Form in Auckland
Starting off as a second-favourite in her opening match of the season against Madison Brengle, Lin fought bravely to scrape past her opponent from being a set down.
Lin won that match 4-6, 7-6 (6), 6-4 to set up a meeting with Venus Williams.
Williams had entered the tournament ranked outside the top 1000 without too much practice under her belt but had managed a win in her opener. And Lin dropped the opening set again.
For the second time in a row though, the Chinese player fought back to win it in three and move into the quarterfinals.
And then, much like Kenin did in her second round match in Auckland, Lin came up against Gauff. That result was going only one way as the American carved out a 6-3, 6-2 win over Lin.
Still, Lin has shown enough in her stay at Auckland that she is capable of a lot more and could prove to be handful for Kenin here.
Kenin v Lin Prediction and Tip
