Kenin, Fernandez victorious on Day 1 of Credit One Bank Invitational in Charleston

Even though the COVID-19 pandemic caused the Volvo Car Open to be canceled, Charleston is now hosting the Credit One Bank Invitational, continuing the city’s longstanding tennis tradition with an all-star cast of 16 women.

The players are divided into two teams: Team Kindness led by 2017 US Open finalist Madison Keys and Team Peace led by nine-time Grand Slam doubles and mixed-doubles title holder Bethanie Mattek-Sands.

Besides captain Madison Keys, Team Kindness includes Amanda Anisimova, 2017 US Open champion Sloane Stephens, Leylah Fernandez, 2012-2013 Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka, 2016 Olympic gold medalist Monica Puig, Alison Riske and Shelby Rogers.
