Maria Sakkari gets hew season underway singles and doubles win at United Cup

Maria Sakkari started off her new year with a match at the United Cup for Greece and she proved too much Viktoriya Tomova to handle beating her 6-3 6-2.

Tsitsipas did his thing against Dimitrov yesterday and Sakkari did her thing today beating Tomova in straight sets. It was a good start for the Greek player who finished 2022 with some strong performances after struggling for a good part of the year. It's a crucial year for Sakkari who didn't blow up last year as many predicted so getting to a good start here could send her on the proper path.

It was a decent performance overall despite Sakkari struggling with her serve a little bit. She didn't hit it at a very good clip but dominated in rallies with an aggressive approach. She attacked Tomova early on the second serve doing a lot of damage that way and winning 17 of 23 points after the second serve of Tomova.

She also used four of the eight break points she had so it was just a very solid performance overall. She also pulled double duty with Tsitsipas to win the doubles match as well.
