Maria Sakkari was in great form for the entire United Cup. However, the Greek sensation capitulated on Friday to a highly inspired Martina Trevisan in a match that lasted more than three hours.
Stefanos Tsitsipas’s father, Apostolos, is well known for being extremely chatty during the matches of his son or some of his teammates. However, this time he decided not to intervene during the encounter leaving the task to Stefanos and the other team members.
There was a lovely moment when Apostolos consoled Maria Sakkari after the match.
