After knocking out the last Spanish player still in contention in Madrid (Paula Badosa, in straight sets 6–4, 6–4), Maria Sakkari slipped a funny message to the public for the rest of the tournament.
” It was very difficult. They supported her and that’s normal. She is originally from Spain. I’m just happy with how I kept my focus, kept my composure. I just want to remind everyone that I lived here for almost four years”recalled the Greek player with a smile.
She will face the Romanian Begu (35e) in the quarter-finals.
