Maria vs Sakkari: prediction for the US Open match
On August 29, Tatiana Maria will face Maria Sakkari in one of the first US Open matches. Should we expect a sensation? The answer is in our prediction.
Command Analysis
Tatjana Maria
GermanyTatiana Maria is back on tour after giving birth to her second child and now she relives her youth. German player has won the title of Bogota tournament in the current season and played in the semi-final of Wimbledon. A brilliant result for the 92nd player of the WTA standings. Her best result in a career is 46th position in the rankings.
Before the start of US Open Maria put up a strong performance at Granby, reaching the quarter-final.
Maria Sakkari
GreeceMaria Sakkari is facing a tough challenge at New York - she reached the semi-final here in the previous season, so now she has to defend a serious amount of ranking points. Latest results of the Greek player ring serious alarm bells. She managed to win only one match in three latest hard tournaments at San Jose, Toronto and Cincinnati.
In the latest match Maria suffered a narrow defeat to Garcia at Cincinnati (6:7, 7:6, 1:6). World No. 3 player is lacking confidence right now, she makes way too many mistakes in crucial moments.

Tip and bets
Opponents played against each other twice in 2022. Sakkari edged a victory at Australian Open (6:4, 7:6), but Tatiana Maria got her revenge at Wimbledon (6:3, 7:6). Greek player is in a poor form now, so in our opinion, she is overrated by the bookmakers. Germany representative is unlikely to leave the court without a fight.
Our prediction - Tatiana Maria to win with a handicap of (+6) games
In each of two 2022 head-to-head fixtures opponents played no less than 21 games. We are expecting another tightly contested match at New York.
Our second bet is on total over 20 games
