Maria Sakkaris: Early end of US Open due to injury – Left tearless

Her journey to this year was completed very quickly and in the worst way! Maria Sakkari was unable to complete the first round match with Chinese Wang. The top Greek tennis player fought for a set against No.80 of the world ranking and then had to withdraw from the game due to injury. Sakkari prematurely waved to the US Open with a shoulder problem and left with tears off the pitch. For the record, Sakkari lost the first 6–2 set, unable to keep her serve. The shoulder problem did not let her catch the performance she would want and eventually cost her her presence at the US Open. Somehow, the Greek tennis player failed to qualify from the first round of another Grand Slam event. Last time found in a second week of such an event is the 2022 Australian Open.
