Wang Yafan vs. Maria Sakkari Highlights | 2024 US Open Round 1

[@alpinescope4441]

Ons Jabeur and Maria Sakkari have the same issue - a lingering shoulder injury since Wimbledon. Jabeur withdrew just before the start of the tournament, while Sakkari played on. I am not trying to criticize Sakkari, but Jabeur has to be commended for doing the honorable thing - when not feeling 100%, she withdrew and let a lucky loser to compete and receive the $100,000 prize money. Jabeur is the class act.

[@mehmetkunter5998]

they need to change the rules... maybe if you are entitled and withdrew, still get 75% of the 1st round and let a lucky loser compete and earn.. i dont know it does not look right

[@sirblanka]

Sakkari needs a new brain. her physical game is lovely. Her mental is a pile of rocks.

[@krogdog]

How is she always ranked in the top 10 when she keeps losing in the 1R of majors? 🤔

[@DanCrosby-hj3cn]

She has these random runs like the IW final and the Guadalajara title last year

[@Fggghbffgggvb]

Thanks! That’s exactly what I thought.

[@stoicapetruliviu8840]

All the other ranked 11+ are much worse😂

[@neonmaus]

Okay so why did she retire? What kind of highlights are these.

[@Κατερίνα-ΙακωβίναΠερτσελή]

She has an injure in her shoulder

[@TheGreatMarma]

Ask Wimbledon

[@tennissir1986]

Fake injury.

[@RobinC63]

I never get my hopes up for decent highlights.

[@ReyN0485]

If you watch closely she's not really injured but she's that kind who does not like to lose, bitter,sore loser.She was clearly beaten fair and square.

[@DavidGolder]

That Sakkari is still in the top 10 is one of the great mysteries of the universe. Still, based on current form she'll be unable to defend her Guadalajara points, so that's it for her.

[@angelatanurdzic7508]

Get well soon Maria ❤

[@trumpingtonfanhurst694]

No loud drawn out screams or moans - my congratulations, both these ladies are winners 🙂

[@MikeSmith-nb9dp]

3-minute highlights for a one (lopsided) -set match, more than some 3-set competitive matches, e.g. Zheng vs Anisimova, nice!

[@alexcooper3007]

Ей не привыкать вылетать в первом круге на больших шлемах!

[@MyAfricanprint]

The minute she lost the first game we knew she lost.😢😢

[@adam6929]

Poor Maria hope she comes back from this

[@sunmanyi3265]

If you retire from a match, do you still maintain and keep the prize money and ranking, since retirng is not considered losing a match?

[@twinklesuperpalm]

Maria. Drama and failure continues…. We are All happy here in Greece with this

[@lm3513]

Unfortunate for Sakkari to retire with an injury. If she was fully fit, she was gonna lose in the 1st or 2nd rd. anyway. She needs more help in her mental fitness than in the physical dept.

[@kecleonboi]

Half of these highlights are ONE GAME

[@gillesderais834]

[@ahjax6771]

LOSSERI keep playing like this because she knows she might be even in top 5 soon in the rankings

[@tomcooper6108]

Hitting short up the middle is Maria's greatest mistake, and she does it 70% of her matches.

[@kinantantjiptawirawan1326]

Sakkari is a slightly better version of Raducanu

[@bayuadrian1638]

Sakkari born not for Grand Slam match 😩😩

[@special-t-419onurbandictio9]

Please lord give Maria sakkari a break🙏 ì hope that helps Maria?

Came here ro check what happened. Got nothing except first set points 😏

[@ashleyziernik2590]

You're not wong there 🤭

[@wongjefx980]

Not sure why she showed up this year instead of taking the rest of season off to recover.

[@brandonchan8255]

because she got the wild card? If so, the US Open is kicking itself right about now. The sought-after spot should be awarded to someone hungrier than her.

[@timantsons616]

@@brandonchan8255 Neither of these girls enter as a wild card. Sakkari is even seeded.

Prize money for turning up $100,000

She got paid $100k, that's why

I see only female China tennis players from Asia in those international tennis tournament. Where are tennis players from other Asia countries such as India, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Pakistan, Phillipine etc ?

[@lakshimiakshithavoloju2006]

I am from india...tennis is a very costly sport for us...we have tennis players who played in doubles..and single players hardly pass second round matches...not like China who provide court facilities,coaches for Chinese players...we want to see and have players like federer,becker,steffi graff...😮😮

[@benthekeeshond545]

Maria's physique is uniquely different. No wonder she is always stiff. Like not being able to relax. She will have a hard time winning close points.

[@bigrobsydney]

Ah, actually, that is factually incorrect. "Contrary to common gym lore, resistance training does not reduce flexibility. When an exercise is performed properly, through a full range of motion, it will actually help increase your flexibility." This is because it strengthens the ends of the muscles, allowing them to be put under more stress without injury. Simply put, they can sustain more abuse.

[@jw999]

Maria is very muscular.

High time Maria retires permanently. I think she spends too much time pumping weights, has lost her nimbleness, which is crucial to these sports
