It may have started once again with dreams and high goals, but Maria Sakkari’s trip to this year Roland Garros proved to be extremely short. The Greek champion was defeated 2-0 set (7-6, 7-6) by Carolina Moutsova and said goodbye to the great tournament, just from the second round!
The Czech Republic started the game with a break and easily reached 3-0 and led 5-2. The Greek showed soul and stopped three sets of points in the eighth game, while she then made a break for 5-4. In the tenth game he stopped set points again and made it 5-5. Mutsova easily made it 6-5 and put a lot of pressure to finish the set, but Sakkari resisted three sets of points and sent the match to the tiebreak, where the Czech Republic reached the 1-0 set (7-5).

The number 81 of the world ranking entered ideally in the second set, making it 2-1 with a break, but Maria answered immediately (2-2). The athlete from the Czech Republic made a new break and then kept the service, maintaining a safety difference. Sakkari made the total upset (5-6) with an incredible soul and the game was led to the tie break. There, however, the Greek’s opponent proved to be better and easily reached 7-4 and 2-0 in the sets.
