Maria Sakkari ‘Speechless’ After Upsetting World No. 2 Iga Swiatek in Doha

After beating Swiatek to reach the Doha semifinals, No. 52 Sakkari admitted the gulf made it feel bigger. “I’m speechless because it’s been a while since I’ve had a big day like today,” she said. “When you drop in the rankings… you start doubting yourself.” Sakkari added, “Last year… I was not confident… This year it’s different. I feel a lot better.”
