This Wednesday’s tournament in Montreal left us with the elimination of one seed: Maria Sakkari. The Greek was outclassed by American Danielle Collins in a match that gave us the most tense moment of the week.
After losing the third game of the second set and 6-4, 2-1 down, Sakkari hit the ball hard, which bounced off the court and into the stands, angering his rival.who did not hesitate to complain to the chair manager and ask him to punish him.
The Greek did not accept Collins’ reaction and He berates him for “telling” the judge, and also stresses that he didn’t throw the ball in public.but it was an unfortunate rebound.

At that moment, the tension rose again. “shut up!Collins lashed out at an increasingly angry Sakkari, who responded with “What’s your problem?“.
“You hit the ball in the stands, Maria. you almost hit someoneCollins insisted, eliciting another response from Sakkari.I didn’t tell anyone. What’s your problem?“.
That’s when the chair umpire finally intervened to calm down and ask for the game to continue. So it is.
The incident clearly unnerved the Greek, who could only win one more game and lost 6-4, 6-2.. A setback that comes after reaching the final in the tournament in Washington last week.
