Dutch Eagle Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 Maria Sakkari advanced to the second round in this years (The) Wimbledon (Championships). She won 6-3 6-4 against Katerina Siniakova from the Czech Republic. She will face Kristyna Pliskova (also from the Czech Republic) in the second round.
Antaeus7 Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 Better showing than the one in the French Open first round.
Dutch Eagle Posted July 5, 2017 Author Posted July 5, 2017 Yes. Sets 6-7 6-4 6-4. Next opponent: Johanna Konta (Great Britain, seeded 6th) or Donna Vekic (Croatia) who are currently playing in the third set (8-8 in games as there is no tie break in the final set).
Antaeus7 Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 Sakkari was eliminated from Konta 6-4, 6-1. I think she is making good progress.
Dutch Eagle Posted July 8, 2017 Author Posted July 8, 2017 She does. She is only 21. She was nervous to be at that podium and had a lot of unforced errors. Next year she will have improved as she will have an extra year experience compared with this year.
Antaeus7 Posted July 8, 2017 Posted July 8, 2017 There is the U.S. Open coming up in August, she never made it out of the first round just like the French Open.
Dutch Eagle Posted June 29, 2018 Author Posted June 29, 2018 Stefanos Tsitsipas is seeded #31 and will face Frechman Grégoire Barrère in R1 of 2018. Tsitsipas is clear favourite as his opponent is the current #192 .
Dutch Eagle Posted June 29, 2018 Author Posted June 29, 2018 Maria Sakkari is paired with Sofia aka Sonya Kenin from the USA. She is ranked #76. Sakkari is ranked #33
Dutch Eagle Posted July 3, 2018 Author Posted July 3, 2018 Tsitsipas won 6-3, 6-4, 6-7 and 7-5. In round 2 he will face American Jared Donaldson. The current #55 of the ATP.
Dutch Eagle Posted July 3, 2018 Author Posted July 3, 2018 Sakkari was eliminated against Kenin: 4-6, 6-1 and 1-6.
paokarag4 Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 Donaldson is a tricky match up, hopefully Stefano can get the better of him. Waiting potentially in the 3rd round is the very dangerous and unseeded Wawrinka, who took out Dimitrov in the first round.
Antaeus7 Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 Match suspended due to rain, it will continue tomorrow morning. Tsitsipas is tied 4-4 in the 4th set, looking to close it out.
paokarag4 Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 I saw it was 3-4 Donaldon's way in the 4th set with Stefano just having had his serve broken?
paokarag4 Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 He's through in 5 sets!! Onto the 3rd round for Tsitsipas, where he will have Italian qualifier Fabbiano, who took out Wawrinka in straight sets (2 tie breakers) His side of the draw has opened up with Dimitrov being dumped out in the first round. 4th round very much within touching distance and then a potential match up with the big serving but not unbeatable Isner. One match at a time though I suppose
Antaeus7 Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 Tsitsipas won in straight sets! 6-1 6-4 6-3! I was looking at the bracket and the only threat in that group is Isner of the United States.
Chris Tsamados Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 Saw a bit of Tsitsipas vs Donaldson but unfortunately missed his game today. He's getting noticed though: https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/tennis/tsitsipas-sets-mark-for-greek-tennis-at-wimbledon/2018/07/06/281e9ff8-815b-11e8-b3b5-b61896f90919_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.58827ea1af92
Dutch Eagle Posted July 10, 2018 Author Posted July 10, 2018 Tsitsipas was eliminated in the fourth round. Isner won 4-6, 6-7 and 6-7. His best result in a Grand Slam sofar.
paokarag4 Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 he did well, was always gonna be tough v Isner who is such a big and consistent server. Had one bad service game in the first set which allowed Isner to break and take out the set. Took him to 2 tiebreakers after that. No shame in his performance, he's had a brilliant run and there should be another nice little jump for him in the rankings. Hopefully he can carry this form into the US hardcourt season
Dutch Eagle Posted June 29, 2019 Author Posted June 29, 2019 In the 2019 edition Tsitsipas is seeded #7 and paired with Italian Thomas Fabbiano. Sakkari is seeded #31 and paired with Croatian-American Bernarda Pera. Wimbledon 2019 starts monday July 1st.
Dutch Eagle Posted July 1, 2019 Author Posted July 1, 2019 And Tsitsipas is out: 4-6, 6-3, 4-6, 7-6 and 3-6. He will probably drop now on the ranking.
Dutch Eagle Posted July 1, 2019 Author Posted July 1, 2019 Sakkari to R2 after beating Pera 7-6, 6-3. Next opponent: Marie Bouzková from the Czech Republic.
