Maria Sakkari in the duel of the debutants at the tennis Tournament, the champion defeated Polka Iga Šwiateková 6: 2 and 6: 4 smoothly and scored her first win in the group Chichén Itzá. The first Greek tennis player in the culmination of the WTA season in history defeated last year’s winner Roland Garros in the third match. Barbora Krejčíková and Kateřina Siniaková, as the most committed couple, enter the Champions Tournament at 4:00 CET. In the El Tajín group, this year’s winners are Roland Garros and the Olympics in Tokyo for their rivals Canadian Sharon Fichman with home Giuliana Olmos.

In the first set at a high altitude in Guadalajara, the 20-year-old Polish tennis player Šwiateková searched in vain for the stability of the blows and lost it in half an hour. In the second set, she improved a bit, but in the seventh game, she donated Sakkar’s break with an unforced error from a recorded ball. The 26-year-old Athenian native had no problems with her service, after the first service she won 26 of 27 exchanges and averted both breakballs. She also confirmed her dominance in the end of the duel. When she developed three matchwords in the tenth game with 40: 0, Šwiateková cried sedentarily. She had a long pause before returning, which she then sent to the network.
In front of her mother, Sakkari was able to rejoice in the premier victory of the Champions Tournament. “It’s big for my country, for me, for my family. It’s nice to have a mom here. I think seeing my child play here and win a match is something special for her,” she said in an interview on the court.
