Sakkari: “I think I did an excellent job and got an easy win after a long time.”
Maria Sakkari easily beat Sasnovich with a 2-0 set and emphasized in her statements that she had put on an excellent performance and after a long time achieved an easy victory.
Maria Sakkari met Sasnovich for the first time, but she had ‘read’ them enough to beat them ‘easily’, as the Greek tennis player pointed out, as she played an excellent game.
In her testimony in court, Sakkari stated:
“It was the first time we played against each other. I know how she plays because I watch her. She likes the lawn. She plays hard and aggressive. But I’m a great tennis player in movement and I was able to react to her shots. I served well and I think I had a great performance.
About her coach telling her to play smart:
“Clever is nothing more than putting my racquet on as many shots as possible in the best way possible. That’s what my coach wanted. I had an easy win after a long time. I played a lot of three-set games and I liked that I won that way..
On the presence of the Greek fans on the pitch:
Greeks are everywhere and that’s a fact. Many Greeks in Australia, America and here. Their support wherever I go is huge, it’s our culture and I feel their love.”
