Tears for Sakkari after US Open shoulder injury

Le 26/08/2024 à 17h33 par Guillaume Nonque

Another Grand Slam disappointment for Maria Sakkari. Injured in the right shoulder, the Greek was forced to retire after losing the first set (6-2) to Wang Yafan on Court 17.

The world n°9 requested a medical time-out (3 minutes) at 5-2, but the physiotherapist's massage wasn't enough. Disillusioned, she had tears in her eyes as she left the court. Since reaching the semi-finals in 2021, she has won just one match in 3 years in New York.
