Sakkari – Mukhova 0-2: Early exit for Maria, the Czech eliminated her again from Roland Garros
Maria Sakkari lost 2-0 to Karolina Muhova and, like last year, was ruled out by the Czech Republic at Roland Garros.
Like last year, Maria Sakkari (No. 3) was eliminated early from Roland Garros after Karolina Muhova (No. 43) won 2-0 sets and was eliminated from Roland Garros.
Last year the 26-year-old Czech eliminated Shak in the second round, this year she made it in the first round. Given the data, that development wasn’t what the 27-year-old Greek wanted and she could slip out of the top 10.
The match: Maria Sakkari came into play perfectly. A quick break gave her a 3-0 lead, but Muhova reacted quickly.
In fact, he responded with the same coin to even the set. The 26-year-old Czech seemed to be playing better as time went by, earning a second break in game 11 to lead 6-5.
Sakkari responded with a breakback and that’s how we got into the tiebreak. There Muhova was cooler and managed to finish the first set 7-6 (5).
Sak broke again in the second set, but Muhova reacted quickly again. So Sakkari’s 2-0 quickly turned into a 2-3 in favor of the Czech Republic.
Muhova then had a double chance to break Maria Sakkari’s serve, eventually finishing the set and game 7-5.
