Most recently, Sakkari took part in the Cincinnati Masters but was eliminated in the very first round by Caroline Garcia.
Maria Sakkari has not been having the best of times of late. The Greek tennis player, who is regarded as one of the best players in the world today, has been suffering early exits at competitions ever since the 2022 Wimbledon Championships. Most recently, Sakkari took part in the Cincinnati Masters but was eliminated in the very first round by Caroline Garcia. The Greek was eliminated in the round of 16 by Karoline Pliskova at the Canadian Open before that. She was also ousted in the round of 16 of the Silicon Valley Classic earlier this month. The Greek will face Tatjana Maria in her first match in the 2022 US Open.
Despite not making it past the qualifiers ahead of the Canadian Open and Cincinnati Masters, Tatjana Maria delivered a decent performance at the recently concluded Granby Open. The German went as far as the quarter-finals of the WTA competition, beating the likes of Anna Bondar and Nadia Podoroska. However, she was beaten in the last eight by Diane Parry.
Maria Sakkari and Tatjana Maria are scheduled to face each other on Monday, August 29 at 9:45 pm IST in the first round of the 2022 US Open. The fourth and final Grand Slam is set to begin on August 29 and go on until September 11 this year.
