American Sofia Kenin moved into the third round of the Miami Open by winning against Ukrainian Anhelina Kalinina, the No 28 seed, 6-3, 6-4 at the Hard Rock Stadium on Friday evening.
The 2020 Australian Open champion and Roland-Garros runner-up reached as high as No 4 in the world before injuries sabotaged her progress.
Kenin, ranked No 164, will play Canadian Bianca Andreescu next. Andreescu holds a 2-1 edge in the pair’s tour-level head-to-head, which includes a win over Kenin in Miami in the second round in 2019.
The American, who dropped out of the top 400 last summer for a spell due to injuries, beat Australian Storm Hunter (6-0, 7-6 (5)) in the previous round of the Miami tournament.
