Professional career

In 2016, Kenin won her first two ITF titles at Wesley Chapel in Florida and Sacramento in California. Her second title helped her win the US Open Wild Card Challenge to earn a wild card into the main draw of the US Open.

At the 2017 US Open, Kenin advanced beyond the first round of a grand slam for the first time, defeating her compatriots Lauren Davis and Sachia Vickery before losing to 2006 champion Maria Sharapova in the third round. Her success at the US Open convinced Kenin to forgo a scholarship to attend the University of Miami so that she could officially become a professional tennis player.
