Maria
Sakkari's impressive victory over Coco Gauff by 6-3, 6-7, 6-2 has left fans in
awe, praising the Greek's journey to the Indian Wells final. Many took to
social media to express that this is arguably Sakkari's best performance, as
she squandered several match points in the second set but ultimately prevailed
in the third.
The former
world No. 3 will face Iga Swiatek in a rematch of the 2022 final when the
Polish player claimed the Indian Wells title two weeks before reaching the
world No. 1 ranking for the first time in her career.
Fans
reacted by praising Sakkari, who, despite not being particularly consistent
since last year, once again showcased her best tennis. Despite not being the
favorite against local favorite Gauff, she emerged victorious in one of the
tournament's most thrilling matches.
"From
selling popcorn to Indian Wells final, a true underdog story. So happy for
Maria, she played very well in that 3rd set after the disappointment of the
second," a fan posted on Reddit. "sweet baby Jesus a miracle
happened," another fan said in Reddit.
“Great to see her
being on top of her game well done maria. Rooting for u in the final”
“Hope Sakkari is
for real this time, and has not just played her own finals against Coco. It's
often the case that these fringe top players sort of expend all their energies
in a match like this, and then collapse in the finals. Which is why Paolini
earned the respect of all WTA fans with her amazing performance in Dubai. All
the best, Maria, having come this far, make it count.”

“Congratulations
to Maria Sakkari, although I fancy Coco Gauff to win on home soil, but the way
she played is a sight to behold.. Congratulations to the Greek Tennis Amazon”

It goes to show you how the Mental side of Tennis is so important. If you are in a good place it all comes together. Delighted for her. Hope she goes all the way. She deserves it!
I'm a huge fan of Coco but Maria deserved this win. Isn't she great to watch when she's on form? I hope her coaching change pays off.
