More battles to come 🤫😂 | #RolandGarros /ek8j2FoHTAĪt the outset of the quarterfinal, an early 2-0 lead for Swiatek was erased in the next game by Sakkari, and the Greek then staved off four break points in the next game before reaching level footing at 2-2 with a service winner. I feel like I have a heavy forehand, a good forehand on the clay. "Every player has a way of playing, a way of just executing the game plan.
Sakkari out-winnered the powerful Pole 26 to 17, sending Swiatek to her first defeat at Stade Roland Garros since 2019. Sakkari made it two Top 10 wins in a row with her 1-hour and 35-minute upset over No.8 seed Swiatek, beating both of last year’s French Open finalists in succession.Īgainst the reigning titleholder, Sakkari won 83 percent of points behind her rapidly improving first service.
Two days ago, Sakkari became the first Grand Slam singles quarterfinalist from Greece when she earned her first win over a Top 10 player at a Grand Slam by knocking out World No.5 Sofia Kenin. Hoisting the trophy could also propel her to a Top 10 debut at week's end. Now the highest-ranked player remaining in the field, Sakkari is just two wins away from a maiden Grand Slam singles title for a Greek woman.
