“She’s such a tough player, she’s got a great aggressive game and such a big serve. I knew I had to bring my ‘A’ game in order to win,” Kenin said.

“I’m super proud of myself, it was a great match, and I’m super happy.”

The 21-year-old is set to play Swiatek on Saturday.

“I’ve had tough matches these past two weeks and I’m so excited to be in the final, ” Kenin said. “It’s incredible. I’m going to enjoy this moment today and get ready for the final tomorrow.”

“We played in juniors in the French Open. It was a close one. I’m going to prepare for the final and I’m going to do my best.”

“I’m definitely going to feel a bit nervous coming into the final. I’ve been there, done that. I know what the emotions are getting into your first Grand
Slam final. I’m hoping she’s going to be a little bit nervous.”

“I know what to expect, so I really hope it’s going to go well for me.”
