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.
Small event compared to Brisbane international but good tennis and very helpfull support staff. We had no idea where we were going on the first day. Courtside Club was a great spot but not for the night session due to sun going down though for maybe 30mins a level.
Book early for the best prices as well.
Stadium well sign posted and easy to move around. Ground staff very helpful and friendly.
Despite the umpires asking for quiet during play, the noise from the corporate areas was very loud and ongoing. Perhaps those hosting in the corporate boxes could brief their guests of common protocols at such events.
Other than that very enjoyable.
I absolutely loved your facilities , the tennis and the overall experience for my two days, for the $10 ground pass it was amazing value for money, on the Wednesday I had booked my seats, fabulous, I feel I am able to make these statements as I have the AO to compare as I have attended there for many days.
The experience at this WTA 500 tournament was great...even though it was just the qualifiers but the atmosphere was really awesome!
It was a good experience and the crowd management was pretty good, except for foreigners who attended with passport verification. It was not so convenient to reenter the Diamond Court without being escorted by the friend who booked the tickets on our behalf. The ushers at the gate kept on insisting to check the original booking on the mini app, and passport verification was not sufficient.
