Sakkari: “I’m fearless on the pitch, it was time to play well again”

Maria Sakkari continued her stellar run at the WTA Finals as she overcame Ons Zambert’s obstacle, whom she defeated 2-0 sets. In her on-court statements following her win, the Greek champion explained that she was fearless in playing tennis and that it was time to return to the big shows.

“I have to keep doing what I’m doing. I trust myself, I’m fearless on the pitch and I’m enjoying my game here. There’s no secret how to play, I think it was time to play well again and I’m very happy it’s happening here.” said Maria Sakkari.

After the match, the two tennis players embraced, with Sakkari explaining the reasons for the move while she praised Tunisia (No. 2 in the world) in the highest tones.

“Above all, there is mutual respect between us. We have known each other for many years, we talked about it a few days ago when we played together in Montenegro for the 3rd division of the Fed Cup and nobody was there. We were two normal players back then, but we both worked very hard to reach the top level.

She deserves everything she has achieved this year, she has done great things and I am sure everyone in her home country will be very proud of her, she has made all of Africa and the Middle East proud with her unique achievements. “
