Maria Sakkari vs Biana Andreescu Highlights | 2021 US Open Round 4

[@にいな-k7g]

This was one of the best matches I've seen this year from the WTA. So much respect for both players for fighting till the very end, it was such a gruelling match. Couldn't take my eyes off the screen.

[@Not_Quite_My_Tempo]

Their match earlier this year in Miami was equally gruelling and thrilling to watch. They match up so well together, you just can't tell who's gonna prevail. Bianca took that match after (again) about 3,5 hours, now it was Maria's turn. I hope they meet many times in the future, it's turning into a must see event.

Sakkari is in top top form ! This I must say was the battle of the Greek 🎾 Tennis Goddess vs the Canadian ! The Grit , resilience and endurance showcased by Sakkari was unmatched , throughout the match ! On the contrary, She needs to dictate her play and not her opponent do that , play the net more and avoid a tied match , as the single points that accrue and determine a set winner is not her strength , play the four corners of the court . Overall she held her own magnificently and at this point I must say Sakkari has a 💯 chance at the 🏆 🏆! Wish her all the best ! Greek 🇬🇷 🎾 Goddess !!! 😅
