Sakkari Returns to Winning Ways
Maria Sakkari defeated Austrian teenager Lilli Tagger 7-5 6-0 in the opening round in Indian Wells. She saved all six break points and won 82% of her first-serve points.
Sakkari has struggled to regain her previous level since returning from injury, which pushed her close to dropping out of the top 100 last year. However, strong results in North America and a semifinal in Doha helped her climb back into the top 50.
She now looks to continue that momentum in Indian Wells. Sakkari has played five third-round matches here and won four of them, with the most recent ending in a loss to Coco Gauff last year.
