Barbora Krejčíková won the WTA Athens Open on Sunday, defeating home favorite Maria Sakkari with a score of 7-6 (7-6 in the tie-break) and 6-3. This is Krejčíková's ninth singles title in her career and her first since winning Wimbledon in 2024.
The match was held at the Olympic Athletic Center of Athens (OAKA), where Sakkari had the support of the home crowd, including Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and his wife Mareva. Despite the loss, Sakkari was visibly emotional and expressed her gratitude to her partner, Konstantinos Mitsotakis, who was present at all her matches.
"To my other half, my love, Konstantinos, thank you for making me better every day and you are perhaps the biggest part of my current career. You have made me achieve so much with your support, your love and I never expected to love someone like you," Sakkari said with tears in her eyes.
