Sakkari and the Guadalajara crowd have a mutual love.
Following the match, she talked about focusing on smiling and enjoying herself.
It is wonderful to see the joy which was seldom seen in 2023.
What I love most from Sakkari there is how much she enjoyed to be out there.
Has visibly been stressed on court in the past, and it has cost her in these big matches.

Sakkari d. Caroline Garcia 6-3 6-0
These last few months, Maria’s been searching for answers.
She’s battled with herself.
She’s looked lost at times.
✅Back to back finals in Guadalajara
But when push comes to shove, her spirit remains unbreakable.
