Sakkari excused herself invoking that she already has a boyfriend.
“I have a boyfriend. Sorry!” Sakkari said. Since 2020, Maria Sakkari has reportedly been dating the Greek Prime Minister’s son, Konstantinos Mitsotakis.
Sakkari motivated by Tsitsipas to serve strong
During the same exhibition match, Stefanos Tsitsipas motivated his doubles partner Maria Sakkari to serve so strong that their opponent Matteo Berrettini can’t return.
Stefanos said that if Sakkari achieves the feat, he will donate $10.000 to the Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund. You can see the video here: Tsitsipas pays off $10.000 for partner Sakkari to serve big on Berrettini
