Former champion Kenin has appendix removed in Melbourne
After losing in the second round at Melbourne Park last week, American star Sofia Kenin had an operation.
Sofia Kenin revealed she had her appendix removed after her shock Australian Open exit last week.
The 2020 Australian Open champion, who was knocked out by Kaia Kanepi in the second round, revealed Wednesday that she was then diagnosed with acute appendicitis and underwent an operation.
American star Kenin – who suffered her earliest major exit since Wimbledon in 2019 – announced the news on social media on Wednesday.
“Hey guys! I want to share with you what happened to me a few days ago,” Kenin said via Twitter.
