Aryna Sabalenka vs Maria Sakkari: Preview
Aryna Sabalenka was pushed to a three-set thriller by Ons Jabuer in her first round robin fixture. The Belarusian held her nerve in the end, securing a victory from being a set down. Aryna Sabalenka has not had a successful hard court season, where she has failed to win a single title. She had deep runs at the Cincinnati Open and at the Flushing Meadows, but bowed out in the semifinals. As the season draws to a close, the 24-year-old will be desperate for a positive result this week.
Maria Sakkari defeated Jessica Pegula in the first match, and will look to make it two wins out of two when she faces Aryna Sabalenka on Wednesday. The Greek tennis player suffered a loss in the finals of Guadalajara Open to Jessica Pegula a couple of weeks ago. Maria Sakkari has also had a pretty ordinary hard court season which was highlighted by an earlier than expected exit from the US Open 2022.
Aryna Sabalenka vs Maria Sakkari: Prediction
There is plenty at stake in this fixture, with a potential semifinal spot up for grabs. The winner of this fixture will certainly have one leg in the last four, with the final group stage fixture being a mere formality. Just like the other two members in their group, Aryna Sabalenka and Maria Sakkari are huge hitters of the tennis ball. Both players can bank on their strong backhands to inflict the maximum damage.
However, Maria Sakkari looked much more resolute in her win against Jessica Pegula. The Greek has an excellent return game, something which could bother Aryna Sabalenka who tends to make a lot of double faults.
Prediction: Maria Sakkari to win in three sets
