Sofia Kenin has announced that her father is back on her coaching team after the pair parted ways in a professional capacity earlier this year.  

The American stunned the tennis world when she beat Garbine Muguruza to lift the 2020 Australian Open, climbing to a career-high ranking of world number four.

Since then, the 22-year-old has struggled to rediscover her major-winning form and has plummeted to world number 12, though her ranking was not helped by her absence from the US Open after testing positive for Covid-19.

In a social media post on Tuesday, the American revealed she has re-employed her father as part of her team and is now back training ahead of the 2022 season.

“This year has been a very bumpy road for me,” she wrote on Instagram on Tuesday.
