Greeks at Wimbledon

[paokarag4]

Very disappointing by Stefano. Watched some of the match, he was quite poor, struggled to return Fabbiano's serve. Fabbiano is very short and his serve is quite slow by ATP standards so it was puzzling. He's had a poor month on grass, not sure why, it should be one of his better surfaces. He still needs consistency, still work to do. As you said Dutch, he'll drop a few places since he was defending points from the 4th round last year. 

Hopefully Maria can go on a run, her side of the draw is quite open.

Sakkari will probably lose in the 3rd round like always in grand slam events. She never reached the round of 16 yet. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Sakkari won 6-4, 6-1.

Next round will be tough against #8 seed Jelina Svitolina, who was lucky her opponent got injured while she was trailing 1-0 in sets and could have been eliminated.

[Antaeus7]

See, I stand by my comment 
Sakkari lost to Stivolina 6-3, 6-7 (1-7), 6-2

[Dutch Eagle]

After 2020 without Wimbledon the grass GS is back.

Tsitsipas, seeded #3, meets Frances Tiafoe of the USA in the first round.

Sakkari, seeded #15, meets Arantxa Rus of te Netherlands in round 1.

[Antaeus7]

Tough draws for the Greeks to start off, it's going to take a great effort to escape a possible upset. 

[paokarag4]

Tsitsipas dumped out in the first round by Tiafoe in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3. Perhaps not a massive shock, given his short turn around from Roland Garros, the fact he wasn't able to play a warm-up tournament on grass and the passing of his Yiayia recently. Today was his first match on grass since 2019 Wimbledon (also a 1st round loss) 

Still a disappointing result for him, Tiafoe played well and was very aggressive. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Very disapointing. But he is still young. And won't lose points on the ranking.

Match of Sakkeri is postponed to tomorrow due to the tons of rain today.

[Antaeus7]

Sakkari made easy work on Rus 6-1, 6-1. 

[Dutch Eagle]

2022

Sakkari won her first round match against Zoe Hives from Austr(ali)a:  6-1, 6-4.

Next opponent is Viktorija Tomova from Bulgaria.

Tsitsipas faces Alexander Ritschard from Switzerland in R1.

[Dutch Eagle]

Stefanos Tsitsipas advanced to round 2 too: 7-6, 6-3, 5-7 en 6-4.

Next opponent: Jordan Thompson (Australia).

[Dutch Eagle]

R2: Sakkari - Tomova 6-4, 6-3.

In R3 Maria will face Tatjana Maria from Germany.

[Dutch Eagle]

Tsitsipas - Thompson 6-2, 6-3 and 7-5.

Next opponent......... tada .... Nick Kyrgios who impressed with 24 aces and losing just 6 games. 

[Brklyngrk]

Kyrgios has been playing well and just beat him..

[Blackhawk]

Just to prove my point that both of our tennis players are "losers", Sakkari managed to be eliminated by a German mother of two and ranked 110th.

[Dutch Eagle]

Kyrgios won the clash against Tsitsipas. 6-7, 6-4, 6-3 and 7-6 for the Aussie.

[Brklyngrk]

Apparently Kyrgios was acting up again.  Arguing with refs regarding Tsitsipas all game long.  They were friendly before, not to sure afterwards..

[Dutch Eagle]

2023:

Tsitsipas is seeded #5. He faces Dominic Thiem from Austria in R1.

Tricky opponent also since Stefanos has other interests these days. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Sakkari is seeded #8. 

R1 brings her Marta Koschuk from Ukrain. 

[Antaeus7]

Did I read that Stefanos Tsitsipas is dating Paula Badosa?

Hence my refering to other interests. 

But Stefanos won. 3-2 in sets and the last set on tiebreak. In R2: local hero Andy Murray!

[Dutch Eagle]

Sakkari from bad to worse: 6-0, 5-7 and 2-6 and bye bye.

[Dutch Eagle]

Stefanos - Murray 7-6, 6-7, 4-6, 7-6 and 6-4 in a match that took two days.

In R3 Laslo Djere from Serbia on the other side of the net.

[Dutch Eagle]

Tsitsipas - Djere 6-4, 7-6 and 6-4.

Next opponent Christopher Eubanks from the US.

[Antaeus7]

Only the second time he advanced into the round of 16 at Wimbledon.
