PARIS : Fourth seed Maria Sakkari admitted she suffered a small bout of nerves in her first round 6-2 6-3 win over Clara Burel at the French Open on Sunday but promised to improve so her parents will get to see her in the later stages of the tournament.
Mats Wilander and Tim Henman praised Maria Sakkari, who defeated Frenchwoman Clara Buel in straight sets in the first round of the French Open. Both Eurosport experts were in agreement at how well the Greek had played, and they displayed their excitement to see how the fourth seed will grow and develop as the tournament progresses. Ad/> "[Sakkari] looked really good," Wilander told Eurosport.
There were surreal scenes on day one of the French Open as a fan refused to be thrown out after disrupting Maria Sakkari's match against Clara Burel. Sakkari was serving for the match at 6-2 5-3 up when the incident occurred, although there had been a lead-up to it with the fan causing the Greek player to have to stop before serving. Ad/> As repeated pleas from the umpire for the crowd to be quiet followed as the supporter left both players frustrated, Sakkari had to pull up and wait for silence again and again.
