Dangerous mission for Sakkari, passable matchup for Tsitsipas in the 4th round of Madrid

With her confrontations Maria Sakkari and his Stefanou Tsitsipas Monday’s program continues for the fourth round in the Madrid tournament. As on Saturday, so today, the two Greek athletes will have back to back matches.

Initially, Sakkari will be the one to enter the center court first and will face the very dangerous Paola Bandosa at 17:00, which is now ranked No. 42 in the world.

Undoubtedly, the task of the Greek champion will not be easy at all, since she will be up against a rather difficult opponent. In their previous encounters, the 25-year-old Spaniard, who plays at her… home, has a slight advantage, having three wins against two of Sakkari.

Should she qualify, the WTA No. 9 will face the winner of the pair Samsonova-Begu.

Shortly after the end of the game, at 21:00, Stefanos Tsitsipas will enter the central court, who will face him Sebastian Baez. The top Greek tennis player has been in very good form lately and wants to repeat the run he did in Barcelona last week, where he reached the final of the event.

Tsitsipas is clearly a superior tennis player than his tonight’s opponent, but in no way can he underestimate him, as there are not a few times he has… stepped on it prematurely in some competition. The two athletes have met once before, at the 2022 Australian Open, with the Greek champion winning 3-1 sets.

Should he beat No. 31, “Steph” will face one of Shafiulin the Tapata Mirales.
