Happy with her victory over Vekic with 2-0 sets, she was after the end of the match Maria Sakkari. The Greek champion mentioned that it is difficult to play with the Croatian, as she is her friend, while she also spoke about how she managed to make an impressive comeback in the tiebreak of the second set.
In detail what he said:
“It’s always difficult to play your good friend, you can’t celebrate and express your feelings like in other matches. Vekic had a great start to the year, she had an amazing Australian Open, I knew she was in good form. She’s beaten me many times and she’s very difficult to play against when she’s in good shape.”
On what made the difference and helped her get the win:
“I think overall I played well, I was good from the baseline, I definitely made some mistakes I shouldn’t have made, my shot selection wasn’t the best at times, especially when I was serving for the match.
But these things happen, you can never make the perfect game. I’m happy that I found a way to win, especially in the end when I managed to turn the tiebreak.”
