One of the main causes of Maria Sakkari's chance to play the WTA Finals was her run to the title at Guadalajara bringing her into contention and many see the Greek ace as a potential outsider to seal the title in Cancun.
Sakkari herself called Mexico her second home during the WTA Finals gala which saw her drawn alongside Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina and Jessica Pegula in a Group of Death scenario.

"It’s amazing to be back in Mexico & playing in front of my Mexican fans, my 2nd home again. It just feels amazing," said Sakkari.
