Maria Sakkari has reached the third round of the French Open for the first time since 2021. The Greek tennis player achieved this milestone by mounting a comeback victory against Claire Liu, with a final score of 6-7 (7), 6-3, 6-3.
Sakkari, currently ranked No. 49, faced a challenging draw at Roland Garros. She began the tournament by defeating No. 12 seed Linda Noskova in a closely contested match. Her subsequent win against Liu further demonstrated her fighting spirit.
This marks a significant achievement for Sakkari, who had experienced early Grand Slam exits in recent years. Her previous best performance at the French Open was a semifinal appearance in 2021. She is now set to face Maja Chwalinska in the next round.
Chwalinska, a French Open debutant, has had a remarkable run, winning three qualifying matches and defeating higher-ranked opponents. Sakkari has a previous win against Chwalinska from a 2025 match in Rome.
