Appointments with… mugs, their first for 2022, they have today Maria Sakkari and Stefanos Tsitsipas.
The 26-year-old tennis player in his final St. Petersburg Open (WTA 500) faces the Annette Conway (15:30, Novasports 6, sport-fm.gr), aiming for the second title of her career. Estonia, number 9 in the world rankings, is a high obstacle for the Greek woman, as she counts 19 consecutive victories in indoor tournaments and in fact two of them are against Sakkari, in Ostrava and Guadalajara. The two opponents have six wins in each other’s games.
An hour later (16:30, COSMOTE Sport 6, sport-fm.gr) they will duel at Rotterdam final (ATP 500) Stefanos Tsitsipas and Felix Oze Aliasim, with the 23-year-old Greek claiming his first title in “500ari” after seven lost finals. The 21-year-old Canadian, number 9 in the world rankings, is claiming the first trophy in his career after eight failed attempts. “Steph” has the upper hand in prehistory with 5-2 having in fact a series of his five victories and is looking for his eighth trophy in the 18th final of his career (7-11).
It is worth noting that if Sakkari and Tsitsipas succeed, it will be the second time in three years that they win titles simultaneously, as in 2019 the first had succeeded in Rabat and the second in Estoril.
