On Monday night (27/5) h Maria Sakkari was surprised by Varvara Gratseva, knowing the defeat in 2-1 sets and elimination from the first round of this year’s Roland Garros.
After the end of the match, the Greek tennis player spoke “out of her teeth”, characterizing the problem she faces in the first rounds of the Grand Slam as psychological, while she then expressed her impatience for the Olympic Games in Paris!
In detail what he said:
On her early elimination from Roland Garros: “It’s a purely psychological issue that I’m facing in the first Grand Slam matches, it’s not something I’m going to hide anymore, nor will I find any excuse to tell you and hide behind my finger.
It’s certainly worrying, on the other hand I hope it’s a wake up call, that ok “how much do I have to catch” in the Grand Slam now. That is, it is not possible for me to go to the 1000s and play semi-final, final, make good moves and then every time I play a Grand Slam I basically “freeze”.
For her participation in the Olympic Games: “I look forward. It will be a very special experience again, because we didn’t experience it as we should have in Tokyo. I’m looking forward to the whole atmosphere. I hope that many Greeks will come, because they are also nearby, to support us and I hope for a much better result in these facilities here”.
