TOKYO: Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen moved into the Tokyo final but her opponent Sofia Kenin was left sweating on her fitness after retiring from her doubles match on Saturday.
Kenin, the 2020 Australian Open champion, beat Britain´s Katie Boulter 6-4, 6-4 to advance to the Pan Pacific Open final and was then joined by China´s Zheng, who beat Russian Diana Shnaider 7-6 (7/5), 6-3.
Kenin went back out on court to play her doubles semi-final with partner Bethanie Mattek-Sands, only to retire with a leg injury while 5-2 down in the first set.
Kenin said she hurt herself towards the end of her match against Boulter but would do her “best to get ready for tomorrow”. “The plan is to play,” said the American.
