Maria Sakkari spoke fondly about her relationships with her siblings as her younger sister Amanda is in Texas supporting her.
Amanda is four years younger than Sakkari and she is a student in New York. This week, she replaced the Big Apple with Texas to watch her bigger sister play. Sakkari has looked really strong this week going 3-0 in the round-robin stage.
She spoke about having her sister there:
"Her aura is unique, both my siblings are. Yiannis was with me in a couple of tournaments this year. We're very close. It's just very nice to have them around. Like at Indian Wells, we would take the car and go to Whole Foods every day. That was the highlight of the day. It's very nice just to do little things."
Amanda is hoping to see Sakkari go all the way before she returns to New York for her studies.
