Andriana Petrakis claims second singles title at Australian Tennis Championships

·

Prominent Greek Australian tennis player Andriana Petrakis secured her second singles title at the Australian Tennis Championships, triumphing over top-ranked Kelly Wren with a score of 6-3, 6-4.

Petrakis, who holds the second position among female tennis players with intellectual impairments, previously faced Wren in last year’s championship, where she also emerged victorious.

Earlier this year, the athlete reached the No. 1 ranking, although Wren eventually reclaimed the top spot. With this recent win against the experienced player, Petrakis is poised to reclaim her position at the summit.

Last month, she represented Australia at the World Tennis Championships held in Annecy, France where she won two silver medals, for the teams’ event and another in doubles. She also took home a bronze medal for mixed doubles.
