Kenin has an aggressive style of play that is built around incorporating a variety of shots into her game rather than just power. She plays primarily from the baseline and can hit winners with both her forehand and backhand. She excels at disguising whether her backhand is going cross-court or down the line. Two of Kenin's best shots are her backhand down the line and her inside-in forehand. She can also strategically add slice to her backhand, which she may use to hit well-disguised drop shot winners. On the defensive side, Kenin is capable of hitting her forehand even as high as shoulder height. Kenin's style of play became more aggressive in early 2018, a trait Kenin's father said she developed in 2017, her first full year on the professional tour. So now she is an all round player who can slice, grind, be aggressive with excellent movement and shot selection. Only problem I see in this match up is the experience in the big stage. This is Kenin's first time at a stage this big and it can be overwhelming.

Kenin needs to keep calm and play smart by attacking the opponents weakness in order to win. Mug doesn't do well against good slicers. If Kenin can incorporate good slices into the game, she can trouble Mug. Barty is an excellent slicer and she would have been a bad match up for Mug. Here Kenin still has capacity to slice and mix it up but I am not sure if she can stay calm without mentally melting down.
