Maria Sakkari is a tennis player from Greece.
The daughter of top-50 women's singles player Angelikí Kanellopoúlou, Sakkari is the highest ranked female player from her country since WTA singles rankings were first compiled.
Sakkari first started playing tennis as a child, and by 18 was living in Barcelona so she could intensify her training. Her WTA-level debut came in 2015, when she progressed through the qualifying rounds of the US Open. Continuing her record of achieving personal firsts on the biggest stages, Sakkari got her first WTA-level win a few months later, at the 2016 Australian Open. By 2017, Sakkari had nearly broken into the top-50, and had made the third round at 3 of the 4 Grand Slams. The 2018 season then brought the Greek her first WTA-level final, but she had to wait until 2019 to win her first title, doing so at the Morocco Open.
Since then, Sakkari has reached the fourth round of the Australian Open, and in 2021 reached the semifinals of both Roland-Garros and the US Open. Sakkari ended the 2021 season ranked inside the top 10; in doing so, she qualified for the end-of-year WTA Finals.
Maria Sakkari is known for her powerful, all-court playing style. She hits aggressive groundstrokes, and is particularly potent on hard court and clay surfaces. Despite not being a tall player, Sakkari's serve is incredibly good, allowing her to hit a very high number of aces.

This is our second visit to the tournament (2023/2026) and again we had a wonderful visit:
- Parking easy to find and shuttle service was quick and easy - very little waiting
- Volunteers plentiful, cheerful and helpful. Again, very little entry waiting, helpful finding seats
- Plenty of food options, but VERY expensive at Verde - $73 lunch for two - wrap, salad, cookie, 1 drink
- Appreciate the bottle filling option at the water fountains
- Phone app great - easy
- Weather perfect - glad to know you're on good terms with Mother Nature
- Like the post-match interviewer - does a great job of getting personality out of the contestants
Recommendations:
- In the Big Tent - would love to see better use of all four sides of the video cylinder - often only 1 or 2 screens actually showing matches. Would be very helpful if the screens could be elevated as much as possible for better visibility
- Wishing there were a few more opportunities to "mix" with the players, but not quite sure how to make that happen that would satisfy them. Enjoyed the after-match interviews buy TCLive, but the players have their backs to the crowd . . .
- Wish there was a way to expand the seating on Court 3 - doubles matches were slammed full on Tuesday - not sure how that worked out the rest of the
One silly question:
- Was there ANY plan or system for installing the various colored seats in the stadium - amazing how completely random the color scheme was - spent dead time pondering . . .
Great experience again. Wish there were more shaded seats . . .
It was great! Highly recommend the Club tickets. All the staff were friendly and helpful.
What a tournament! We had a great time.
This was my fourth time attending COCO. I love this tournament!
my friend and I enjoyed the entire experience, the tennis was fantastic -- my only 2 caveats are WEAK wi-fi (astonishing given Larry Ellison is the person in charge) and PEPSI instead of COKE, which killed me.
