Sakkari: “It was a disappointing performance”

The exclusion and especially her performance against Jessica Pegoula (No. 21) disturbed Maria Sakkari (No. 5), who wanted to advance at the Australian Open.

He first emphasized to the press: “It was a disappointing performance. The conditions were very fast, Jessica played very fast, I had no answers. I tried my best but my game wasn’t even close, it was somewhere around 60-70%. It was just disappointing . And still is”.

When asked what happened to her about the state of the stadium, she said: “I found it faster, I don’t know if that was it, but it looked like it. There were also a lot of flies and a lot of dirt from last night. That makes the place faster and faster. It surprised me. Maybe they did tried to clean it but there wasn’t time.Of course and the heat made it faster than my previous night race at Margaret (Court Arena) And a bit unlucky I’m going to try not to be disappointed and keep going work. “

Whether she is satisfied with the course up to the 4th round: “I’m not satisfied, no. I have other ambitions for myself and I imagine that in a tournament like this I’m even further away. I know I deserve it and that I can do it.”
