Maria Sakkari is enjoying a superb week in Mexico and she pledged to support her country in the upcoming Fifa World Cup.
Maria Sakkari travelled to Guadalajara in an attempt to qualify for the WTA Finals. Last year, she participated in the WTA Finals, which were held on these courts. She performed well, and this week has been wonderful for her because she was able to guarantee her spot in Forth Worth.
"There is something special about this tournament, about the people, about how I feel about this place," Sakkari told reporters after advancing to the semifinal. "I told my friends here, my Mexican friends, that I'll be supporting Mexico in the World Cup because Greece did not qualify. I'll support my second favourite country."
Due to its similarities to Greece, Mexico and Sakkari share a special bond. Everything she sees and experiences takes her back to Greece:
"I see all the restaurants being full every day. That reminds me a lot of Greece. No matter if it's Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, they like to go out. They like their music" explained Sakkari adding:
"You're outgoing. You like good food. You like the good life as we do, in a good way, of course. I mean, everything. You're very passionate like we are."
