Sakkari Will Look To Shake Off Indian Wells Disappointment
Stunned by Viktorija Golubic in her opening match at Indian Wells, World No. 7 Maria Sakkari will be looking to get back to winning ways when she begins her campaign in the second round of the Kremlin Cup on Thursday.
The Greek has been in terrific form throughout the season and that can be seen in her ranking progression. Sakkari broke into the top 10 following her run to the final of the Ostrava Open in September. It was the first time this year that the 26-year-old had reached the final, but she couldn’t add to the Rabat title which she won in 2019, going down to Annett Kontaveit in straight sets.
Before that performance in Ostrava, Sakkari had reached five semifinals this year but couldn’t go past the final four stage. Among those final four appearances were her first and second Grand Slam semifinals at Roland Garros and the U.S. Open. The other three came in Miami, Abu Dhabi and the Grampians Trophy.
Sakkari brings a 34-17 season record to the tournament and will be desperately looking to go all the way to the title.
