paokarag4 Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 First time in his career coming from 2 sets down to win I believe! Sakkari plays her 2nd round match later today.
Antaeus7 Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 She defeats Kamilla Rakhimova of Russia 7-6 (7-0), 6-2
Antaeus7 Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 Tsitspas defeat Cuevas in straight sets 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 He will face Slovenia's Aljaz Bedene
Antaeus7 Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) Maria Sakkari fells to Italy's Martina Trevisan 6-1, 6-7 (6-8), 3-6 Falling behind 3-0 in the second set, came back nicely to take a 6-5 lead only to let this slip away and fall into a tiebreaker. First time this year, she lost the tiebreaker. Fell behind 3-0 again in the third set, never she was able to comeback again. This is why you start off strong and final off afterwards.

Antaeus7 Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 Tsitsipas advanced thanks to an injury to Bedene, he had to retire in the 3rd set. Next he faces Bulgaria's Dimitrov.
paokarag4 Posted October 5, 2020 Posted October 5, 2020 Tsitsipas disposes of Dimitrov in straight sets 6-3, 7-6 and 6-2. This is only the 2nd time in his career he's reached a Grand Slam Quarter Final (after the Aus Open'19) Next up for him is the Russian 13th seed Rublev, who beat Tsitispas last week in the Hamburg open final. Stefanos was in that match and served for the match at one point so he's in with a good chance. 1
Antaeus7 Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) Tsitsipas got his revenge and swept Rublev out of the competition 7-5, 6-2, 6-3. On to the semifinals where he could face Djokovic unless baring a upset from Carreno Busta. Edited October 7, 2020 by Molon Lave 1
Blackhawk Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 Tsitsipas played very well today. He'll need all that and more when he faces Djokovic in the semis.
Blackhawk Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Djokovic clearly superior to Tsitsipas in their semifinal game. Tsitsipas comes close to win sets but just can't finish it off. On several occasions he's been leading 40-0 in points to only to lose the game. Down 2 sets. Looks like Djokovic will easily prevail in 3 sets.
Blackhawk Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Spoke too quick. Tsitsipas fought back and tied the game 2:2 sets. The deciding set about to start. 2
Antaeus7 Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 This is what I was hoping for. A 5 set thriller. If this goes down to a tie-breaker, I can see Tsitsipas pull it off.
Antaeus7 Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Well, it was quite a battle, but at the end Djokovic proves why he is #1 in the world. 1
Blackhawk Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Tsitsipas never showed up fot the 5th set. Spent all his energy to tie the game and had nothing left in the end.
Brklyngrk Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 Great game, came close, lost it at the end... 1
Dutch Eagle Posted May 30, 2021 Author Posted May 30, 2021 Easy first round for Tsitsipas in the 2021 tournament. 7-6, 6-3 and 6-1 against Jeremy Chardy of France.
Dutch Eagle Posted June 1, 2021 Author Posted June 1, 2021 Sakkari - Zavatska (Ukrain) 6-4, 6-1 in R1 and Maria to R2.
Antaeus7 Posted June 1, 2021 Posted June 1, 2021 The situation with Osaka in the French Open is very disturbing. She isn't entitled to be at the media if she has issues with her mental health. What hypocrites WTA/ATP are for not putting athletes first when it comes to their health. She was forced to withdraw from the tournament. I love Osaka so much, very humble, sweet, and down to Earth.
Dutch Eagle Posted June 2, 2021 Author Posted June 2, 2021 Stefanos Tsitsipas - Pedro Martinez 6-3, 6-4 and 6-3. Next opponent is John Isner.

What a great way to respond! Next, she is facing Russian born American player Sofia Kenin, who is ranked #4 in the world. Edited June 5, 2021 by Antaeus7
Antaeus7 Posted June 6, 2021 Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) Tsitsipas sweeps Carreno Busta in 3 sets 6-3, 6-2, 7-5 Now the hard part, he has to face Medvedev in the quarterfinals. This is his chance to show that he can dethrone his long time arch nemesis. I think if he beats him, the path to the finals is achievable. Edited June 6, 2021 by Antaeus7 1
Antaeus7 Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) Sakkari became the first female Greek tennis player to reach a grand slam quarterfinals. She beat Kenin in straight sets 6-1, 6-3. Edited June 7, 2021 by Antaeus7 1
