Maria Sakkari came painfully close to winning an WTA competition earlier this month but was denied by a spirited Mayar Sheriff in the final of the Emilia-Romagna Open. The Greek’s US Open campaign was one to forget but she redeemed herself in Italy right after. However, Sakkari was eliminated in the first round at the Ostrava Open after an dismal showing against Alycia Parks. Now in San Diego, she will participate as a wildcard entry and the fifth seed. Her first test will be against Donna Vekic.
Donna Vekic had been struggling for form at the US Open but she recently displayed a decent performance at the Tallinn Open. The Croatian defeated the likes of Maileen Nuudi and Zhang Shuai to make it through to the last eight. However, that is where her journey concluded in Tallinn as she was beaten 6-4, 6-1 by Belinda Bencic.
Maria Sakkari and Donna Vekic are scheduled to face each other in the first round of the 2022 WTA San Diego Open on Tuesday, October 11. The competition’s main draw is set to commence on October 10, 2022 and conclude on October 16, 2022.
The WTA San Diego Open will have five rounds of action excluding the qualifiers. These are the round of 32, round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final. The competition’s main draw is set to commence on October 10, 2022 and conclude on October 16, 2022.
