Maria Sakkari v Tatjana Maria Head to Head
There have been two previous meetings at the highest level and it’s one win apiece on head to head. Both matches came this year.
At the Australian Open, Sakkari won in straight sets before Maria had her revenge at Wimbledon.

2021 Semifinalist Sakkari Struggling for Rhythm
Things looked to be going her way when Sakkari had made it to the semifinal at the Birmingham International earlier this year but since then her rhythm seems to have been disrupted,
Sakkari fell in the first round at Eastbourne soon after and then lost her third round encounter at Wimbledon to Maria.
And if she thought she would have gotten herself some respite from those results when she shifted to the hard courts of the US Open Series, she was in for a surprise.
Because in the three tournaments that have followed, Sakkari has won a mere single match, an opening win at the Canadian Open over Sloane Stephens. It was a scrappy performance anyway.
Defeats to Shelby Rogers, Karolina Pliskova and Caroline Garcia could have planted a seed of doubt in her mind coming into this one. Can Sakkari shrug things off?

Wimbledon Semifinalist Maria Adjusting to Hard Courts
Not that Sakkari is the only player struggling to get going on hard courts because her opponent, Maria, has had her own issues.
Ranked 92nd in the world despite her Wimbledon semifinal appearance – those points didn’t count – Maria hasn’t won barely anything. A first round loss at the Washington Open was followed by her inability to get out of the qualifiers at either the Canadian Open or the Cincinnati Open.
It was finally in Granby in the week leading up to the US Open that Maria finally got going with a couple of victories to kick things off. Nadia Podoroska and Anna Bondar are two tough opponents and Maria got the better of both before falling to Diane Parry in the quarterfinal.
She has beaten Sakkari in the past, so while her overall record on hard court surfaces isn’t the best, she could fancy a chance here.
Sakkari v Maria Prediction and Tip
Sakkari is such a heavy favourite here and we reckon this surface suits her enough for her to win in straight sets.
Tip: Sakkari to win in straight sets: 1/2 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
