Sakkari: Maria’s lottery in Linz, Austria

The draw has been made for Maria Sakkari for the tournament in Leeds, where she will meet Nuria Parithas Diath in the first round.

The season continues for Maria Sakkari in Austria, where she will compete in the Linz tournament (WTA 250) and is No. 1 in the rankings.

The leading Greek tennis player (No. 7 in the world) meets Nuria Parithas Diath (No. 75) in the first round. This is the fourth time Sakkari has faced the 31-year-old Spaniard but only the first time on the WTA Tour.

The previous three were many years back when the two competed in ITF tournaments. There, Sakkari had won twice and the Spaniard once.

Their confrontation is expected to take place on Tuesday (07/02). She then meets either Anna Blinkova or an athlete from the qualification.

In the quarterfinals she will likely face Donna Vekic, while in the semifinals Irina Camelia Begu seems to be the favorite to get by.

On the other side of the plaque are the names of Anastasia Potapova, Angelina Kalinina, Bernarda Pera and Ekaterina Alexandrova.
