United Cup - Sakkari: "I couldn't ask for anything more"
The leading Hellenic tennis player was in excellent condition and determined not to get Greece into... adventures. After the winning match of Stefanos Tsitsipas, Maria Sakkari made it 2-0 against Canada and at the same time gave qualification to our country.
In the first set, Sakkari found herself with her back against the wall. Down 4-5 and 15-40, but managed to make the turnaround and take the first set in a tiebreak. This reversal raised the psychology of Sakkari. Despite the fact that he found herself in the second set losing 1-3, she finally "turned it around" and won 6-3.
Sakkari, with a reversal, defeated Leila Fernandez 2-0 (7-6, 6-3), for Greece's 2-0 against Canada in the United Cup, which marked our country's qualification to the quarterfinals.
The Greek tennis player stated that "I couldn't have asked for anything more" after her important victory, while also referring to how she managed to turn the game around when she was behind in the score.
Specifically, Maria pointed out: "It's amazing after what we went through to play in Sydney in front of so many Greeks. I couldn't ask for anything more from myself and the team."
On the upset she achieved, Sakkari explained: “I think the level was very high. I told myself to play my balls, play my game and not care what happens on the other side. I played amazing and I'm very happy that I was able to play this game at the start of the year."
