Greece’s tennis ace Maria Sakkari on Saturday will face No.3 seed Caroline Dolehide in the final of the Guadalajara Open AKRON.
The winner will take home the biggest title of her career.
Sakkari will return to World No.6 on Monday by making the final.
“I said it the first day that I felt like this was the week,” Sakkari said, “this is the place where I was going to overcome a lot of difficult obstacles and difficult emotions.
“I don’t want to go back to the US Open because that’s passed, but I’m just so happy to be back in the final and to get to stay until the end of the tournament. I couldn’t have asked for anything better this year.”
Last year, Sakkari battled her way into the Guadalajara final off a series of pressure-packed three-set wins.
This year, the Greek star moved through the draw without incident.
The World No.9 has not lost a set all week and is now a win away from capturing her first title in four years. Her last win came at 2019 Rabat.
