On September 23, Second seed Sakkari defied everybody’s expectations, including her own, when she defeated Caroline Dolehide, 7-5, 6-3, and won her second WTA title after four long years.

In her speech, Sakkari congratulated her opponent, Dolehide, first and commended her for all the hard work and training she went through. “I always knew you had an amazing game. It was about time for it to click. It happened this week, and you have so many more opportunities to come up and this is just the beginning, as you said.”“We waited for more than four years for a second title.

That was very hard for me to overcome, and I’m so happy I did it here this week.
