I watched the Gionis match. It was very exiting game, but Gionis shot himself in the foot by not "killing" the opponent in the 5th set with the numerous match points he had. Just like our tennis players, Gionis is lacking the killer instinct to finish a match.
I also stayed until 2:30 in the morning to watch the Sakkari game . It was obvious Svitolina was a better and more experienced player. This was evident in the deciding 3rd set. For Sakkari to advance she would have to have an exceptional game. She will now continue in the mixed pairs competition with Tsitsipas.
In Water Polo we tied a strong Italian team 6:6 in a game where we blew a 4 goal lead in the last period of the game.

In other news, yesterday one of our Synchronized Duet swimmer (Platanioti or Papazoglou) tested positive for COVID and did not travel to Japan. As a result Greece had to withdraw from the Duet competition. She will be replaced by a sub in the team competition.
