- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
Young Greek tennis ace Maria Sakkari on Wednesday qualified for the third round of Wimbledon after completing an impressive comeback victory against Kristyna Pliskova.
The 21-year-old Sakkari, who is ranked 98th in the world, came back from being set and a break down to get the job done, winning her ladies singles match 6-7(6), 6-4, 6-4.
It’s the second time Sakkari is playing at Wimbledon, while it’s the second time she has made the third round of a grand slam event, the first being at the 2017 Australian Open.
Sakkari will now face Great Britain’s 26-year-old Johanna Konta who defeated the Croatian Donna Vekic.
