Player of the Day: Maria Sakkari
"Sak-Attack" snapped Iga Swiatek's 11-match Roland Garros win streak and advanced to her first ever Grand Slam semifinal.
Look out for "Sak-Attack." The talented and ultra-athletic Greek, enjoying the tournament of a lifetime, just snapped Iga Swiatek’s 11-match Roland Garros win streak to advance to her first ever Grand Slam semifinal.
Sakkari was the better player throughout, striking the ball at a higher level while covering the court a bit better than the Pole.
While Sakkari is the player of the day, Tom Hill is the coach of the day, instilling a free-swinging attitude for Sakkari before the match.
And play free she did. It's been a monumental Roland Garros for Greece, as the country entered the tournament with one player on the men and women's side, with both players, Sakkari and Stefanos Tsitsipas, still standing.
