Thirty-eight-year-old Williams turned a 1: 3 loss in the second set and even then served to win, but Sakkari did not let her go to the match. She won the set 7: 5 in a tie-break and in the decisive set she did not give the twenty-three-time grand slam champion a chance. However, she reached the decisive point when she turned to the eighth match.

“I didn’t feel good and I played badly, so I knew it wouldn’t be a nice match, but I’m very happy with the result. Like many others, Serena is a role model for me,” said Sakkari, who is waiting for Britain’s Johanna Konta in the next round. .
