Maria Sakkari congratulated Anett Kontaveit on her triumph in St. Petersburg admitting that the Estonian deserved it.
Anett Kontaveit and Maria Sakkari played a superb final at the St. Petersburg Open. Kontaveit opened up with an early lead but fell apart late to lose the set. She trailed in the 2nd but came back to win it and then did the same thing in the final. It was a brilliant comeback that left Kontaveit speechless by her own admission.
Sakkari paid respec to Kontaveit at the trophy ceremony admitting that she deserved it:
“This feels familiar. Anett, here we are once again. It’s disappointing from my side but you really deserve it. We’re great friends and I’m really happy for you for your achievements.”
It was the 13th time they met with Kontaveit holding the 7-6 lead now. They played several times in the past few months and Kontaveit edged out Sakkari every time hence the familiar comment by the Greek.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
