Caroline Garcia has reached the quarterfinals, Maria Sakkari aims to surpass her Berlin semifinals performance
Posted : 22 June 2023
Caroline Garcia continued her impressive form at the bett2003open with a dominant victory over Australian player Jaimee Fourlis. Garcia, the French world champion, defeated Fourlis 6-3 and 6-2, showcasing her strength on the grass court.
Despite not winning a title this year, Garcia's performance is steadily improving, as she has risen from 75th place in the world rankings to her current position as the fourth-ranked player.
Meanwhile, Maria Sakkari seeks to surpass her previous best performance in the tournament, which was reaching the semifinals in Berlin last year. Sakkari advanced to the next round with a convincing 6-4 and 6-2 win over Alize Cornet.
This victory served as revenge for Sakkari, who had previously lost to Cornet in straight sets in Nottingham.
Notably, Sakkari now benefits from the expertise of Mark Philippoussis, a former Wimbledon finalist with Greek roots, who has joined her team as a specialist in lawn tennis.
Sakkari expressed her delight with Philippoussis' addition, emphasizing his valuable support. She believes his expertise will be particularly beneficial as she competes on the grass court.
The timing of his inclusion in her team, after the French Open, aligns perfectly with her goals and aspirations for the tournament. With the guidance of Philippoussis, Sakkari aims to continue her strong performance and make a deep run in the bett2003open.
