Head-to-head statistics Sakkari - Gibson
Maria Sakkari Player Overview
Maria Sakkari is clearly not in the best mental shape right now - she has dropped from the top 10 all the way into the fourth decade of the rankings. The season has been a difficult one, with injuries and dips in form taking their toll, so she has come to Singapore purely to rebuild her confidence. The potential is undoubtedly there, but everyone knows how Sakkari can struggle mentally when things stop going her way. For now, the Greek is getting through on class alone. She has beaten both Fruhvirtova and Hibino in straight sets. Against the Japanese player, Sakkari found her characteristic heavy forehand in the second set and barely seemed to notice her opponent on court. She has clearly conserved her energy.
Match Results: Maria Sakkari
Talia Gibson Player Overview
Talia Gibson, by contrast, is enjoying the best form of her career. She has broken into the top 70, is playing with freedom and clearly relishing every match at this level. The Australian got into the draw at the last moment due to Schnaider's withdrawal, so there is no pressure on her whatsoever - she has already exceeded expectations. Gibson's path here has been hard-fought. While she came through against Ferro comfortably, the match against Moravková required more than two hours of work (7-6, 7-6). Talia was a break down in the second set, but showed real resilience, fought her way to a tie-break and took it through steadier nerves and fewer errors.
