“People around the world have different kinds of problems, and this is probably nothing for someone. But for me, I’m a very proud Greek woman.

“I felt it wasn’t because I was not a good tennis player, but because some people didn’t want to support me because of the man with whom I have a relationship.

There has been a very important person in my life and my career.
So it was difficult. I think my injury was difficult physically and also psychologically, I was just crushed. I couldn’t stand it. I was unhappy in Paris. I hated every minute. And you are supposed to be at the biggest celebration of sports and you are simply there, unhappy. I just couldn’t. Yes, it was difficult. I believe that politics must stay out of sports. There are athletes who vote one or the other party, it doesn’t matter why they represent the country, regardless of their beliefs, “said Maria Sakkari in Second Serve.
