I’m not usually drawn to tennis any more. But as I was watching Kenin this morning, I was struck by how intense this girl is. She took each point so seriously, whether she won it or lost it, I thought she was going to come apart. Obviously, I was judging by appearances. Inside, she must’ve been well in control. Otherwise, she couldn’t have won out.
