Harriet Dart vs Maria Sakkari prediction
Harriet Dart edged out Mina Hodzic in a final-set tie-break to reach the round of 16 in Athens.
The Brit came up clutch at the death to post a 6-3 3-6 7-6 win over the German and set up a second career clash with Maria Sakkari.
The Greek fourth seed held firm to see off a late flurry from Polina Kudermetova to triumph 6-0 7-6.
Sakkari won her first encounter with Dart on grass by a 6-4 6-0 scoreline way back in 2017. That is unlikely to have much significance here, but with this being a home tournament for Maria and her overall level being much stronger than the world number 152, there’s only one outcome worth backing from our point of view.
