In order for Greece to top first place, they would have to win all 4 games and need Spain to beat Sweden. You will get : Greece - 18 pts Spain - 16 pts Sweden - 15 pts In order for Greece to finish second place (playoff spot) You will need 3 wins and a draw (from either Spain or Sweden) and all depends on the Spain-Sweden result.

Congrats to Raducanu, simply played better and was much quicker than Sakkari. Sakkari just played a total opposite than what she played throught the U.S. Open. Is it time to realize Sakkari's opportunity to win her first grand slam is running out?

Sakkari is getting owned in the first set from Raducanu 6-1. She better find a way to compose herself and get back in the game. Hernandez knocked out Sabalenka in 3 sets, we could be seeing two teenagers in the finals.

SAKKARI DEFEATS PILSKOVA 6-4, 6-4! ON TO THE SEMIFINALS!!! She defeated 3 Czechs in this tournament. Man, what are the odds of that happening? Sakkari usually has a history of struggling against players from the Czech Republic.

Spain's last two matches is against Greece (away) and Sweden (home). It is possible Spain could lose the final two and miss out on the World Cup.

Greece will have to win out it's remaining 4 matches or win 3 and draw one to have any chance of qualification.

GREECE 2-1 SWEDEN FINAL About time to get their first win in the WCQ 2022!

6 minutes of added time

That was an unlucky play for Vlachodimos.

2 minutes later 2-1 Oh boy

GOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLL PAVLIDIS!!!!!!!!!!!! 2-0 GREECE!!!!!!

VAR check for possible goal

Claesson hits the woodwork, nearly a goal for Sweden.

GGGOOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!!!!! BAKASETAS!!!!!!!!!

Greece are playing well in the first half, getting a goal past Olsen will be pretty tough.

Well, Greece has nothing to lose. So whatever JVS does it's not going to change.

If Sakkari defeats Pilskova today, she will face 18 year old Emma Raducanu of Great Britain in the semifinals.

SAKKARI BEATS ANDREESCU IN 3 SETS! 3 HOURS 30 MINUTE MATCH. She will face Pilskova in the quarterfinals. Match ended at 2:15 am New York time.

You want a power game? This has all the making! Sakkari and Andreescu both won their tiebreakers and now playing the 3rd set. Sakkari has 9 double faults and she must improve better on her serves if she is to advance into the quarterfinals.

Greece 0-2 Sweden Final

Greece dropped 4 points to teams where they have no chance to qualify. Greece does not have that killer instinct to put away minnow teams, instead they act like those teams are hard to beat.

Second straight match in the WCQ where Greece had a lead and lost it. Good bye World Cup.

This is what you get for trying to play "not to lose".

I knew it! 1-1

+4 added time
