Sakkari and Strykova open Friday’s schedule at the Rome Masters
Maria Sakkari makes her debut in the first game of the day in Pietrangeli today at 12:00 (Novasports 6HD and LIVE on Sportish) against 37-year-old Czech Barbora Strykova in their first meeting.
Premiere of Maria Sakkari on Friday at 12:00 p.m. (Novasports 6HD and LIVE on Sportish) in the first game of the day at the Pietrangeli against 37-year-old Czech Barbora Strykova in their first meeting.
It is Sakkari’s 29th game this season (19-9), but also her 17th in Rome, although the Greek tennis player has never lost in four appearances in her debut (main draw) in the Italian capital.
In fact, in 2019 she had her best run in the tournament, reaching the semifinals starting from qualifiers (!), while last year she reached the quarterfinals and lost the qualifiers by her hands to Ons Zamber.
For the former world No. 16 and current 1,103, this is only her third game of 2023 after an early elimination in Madrid against Italy’s Elisabetta Cocciaretto, but also after her first Round 1 win of the season in Rome over Belgium’s Mariana Zavenska.
This is Strykova’s seventh appearance at the Rome Masters. Her best performance came in 2016 when she reached the quarterfinals, losing to Madison Keys.
In case of qualification, the winner will face Bianca Andreescu and Marketa Vodrusova.

18 years old “neutral” Mirra Andreeva He sent fans away after the match at the Australian Open 2026.
On January 21, Andreeva defeated Maria Sakkari in the 1/32 final with scores of 6:0 and 6:4. After the end of the fight, Mirra said “Fuck you all” to applauding fans. Naturally, this was inaudible, but you can literally read this sentence on your lips.
On the 23rd, Romanian Elena-Gabriela Ruse will play against Andreeva. The meeting will start around 12:00 Kyiv time.
