Maria Sakkari vs. Caroline Dolehide: Preview
World No. 9 Maria Sakkari has not performed up to her standards this year. Having not won a single title all year, she has had a very disappointing 2023 season so far. She has failed to make it to a single tournament this season, with her only final appearance coming at the Cincinnati Masters, where she lost to the eventual winner and the new US Open Champ, Coco Gauff.
However, the Greek has given fans some notable performances this year. These include her semi-final appearances at the Linz Open, the Qatar Open, the Indian Wells Masters, the Berlin Grass Court Championships, the Citi Open, and the Madrid Open.
In the ongoing US Open, Sakkari has beaten Storm Hunter in the first round by 6-4, 6-0, followed by a 6-2, 6-2 win over Camila Giorgi in the second round. In her third-round matchup, she beat Emiliana Arango by a scoreline of 6-3, 6-4. The 28-year-old ousted third seed, Caroline Garcia in straight sets of 6-3, 6-0.
On the other hand, Caroline Dolehide, on the other hand, has surprised everyone with her fierce gameplay. The American, who is ranked as No.47, defeated Martina Trevisan with a score of 3-6, 7-6, 6-3 to reach the semi-finals. She also ousted the 2020 Australian Open champ, Sofia Kenin, to make it to the Finals. With her remarkable performance recently, Dolehide has become only the second lowest-ranked finalist at a WTA 1000 event.
Maria Sakkari vs. Caroline Dolehide: Prediction
It is expected to be an absolutely thrilling final-round match between the two players. Dolehide has with her latest victory at the semi-final round, reached her maiden WTA singles finals for the first time. Although the American has reached the finals of a WTA 1000 event for the first time, she has given us quite a show in the past matches at the tournament and definitely holds the potential to throw us off with her great shots on-court.
The two have never faced each other on court. Thus currently, their Head-to-head score stands at 0-0.
Prediction: Maria Sakkari to win in three sets.
