Sakkari opens the… Greek curtain at the US Open

by

Ready for her ninth participation in US Open is Maria Sakkari. The leading Greek tennis player has been continuously participating since 2015 in the main draw of the last Grand Slam of the season, in which she has celebrated one of the biggest successes of her career.

In particular, on the courts of New York she had reached the semifinals in 2021 for the second time in her career. The first was the same year at Roland Garros. The 28-year-old champion aspires to achieve a similar success – and even more – this year, who will begin her campaign against the Spanish Rebecca Masarova (No. 74) and, if she qualifies, will face one of Smietlova and Baidl.

The match is scheduled for today (Monday 29/9) at 18:00televised from the Eurosport.

Sakkari and Masarova have met once more on the tour, with the Greek tennis player emerging victorious. Specifically, they faced each other in the third round of the Madrid open, where Sakkari prevailed with an upset (6-3, 3-6, 3-6).

We remind you that the program of the first day will also compete with Stefanos Tsitsipaswho will begin his effort in the early hours of Tuesday (29/8), at 2:00 against Canadian Milos Raonic.
