Maria Sakkari

Player Overview

Maria Sakkari, with a career win percentage of 58.3%, has faced a downturn in form, reflected in her recent 47.9% win rate over the last two years. Her Elo rating of 2190 indicates she remains a competitive player, but her recent performances have been inconsistent, particularly on clay where she has struggled to find her footing. Sakkari's serve has been less effective lately, contributing to her declining trend.

In her last match, Sakkari secured a narrow victory over Noskova, but prior to that, she suffered defeats against lower-ranked opponents. With only one win in her last five matches, Sakkari's form is concerning as she approaches this rematch. She must regain her focus and consistency to avoid another upset against Noskova, who will be eager to avenge her previous loss.
