Her convincing victories in the early rounds of the Australian Open and strong performances at the United Cup, particularly her dominant win against Angelique Kerber, showcase her high-caliber play.

Sakkari's unexpected loss in the second round of the Australian Open to Ekaterina Avanesyan does not overshadow her ability to achieve deep runs in tournaments, as evidenced by her semifinal appearances in 2023 and 2022.

With her powerful game and proven track record, Sakkari's current underachievement seems more like a temporary dip, with a strong likelihood of regaining her top form. Sakkari is also second highest in longest streak within the Top 10, she needs a win in her first round in Doha to maintain that,
