Maria Sakkari has always been a hunter on tour—a dangerous opponent no highly ranked player or top seed relished facing.

In 2021, the hunter became the hunted.

After cracking the Top 30 in 2018, 2019 and 2020, this year was a long-overdue breakthrough for the 26-year-old, who is sixth in the rankings thanks to a season's worth of impressive results compiled on a variety surfaces and against an array of players. She enters the Akron WTA Finals in Guadalajara having won two out of every three matches (36-18), and having put together her two deepest runs at Grand Slam tournaments.
