Maria Sakkari advanced unopposed to the quarter-finals of the Miami Open, as Anna Kalinskaya withdrew minutes before their clash.
Kalinskaya withdrew from the tournament due to an injury to her left thigh.
“I was looking forward to playing today, but unfortunately my health did not allow me to. Thank you for the support,” the Russian tennis player said.
After playing in the final of Indian Wells, Sakkari will also play in the quarter finals of Miami. Tomorrow she will face Elena Rybakina for a place in the final 4.
Whatever happens from here on, however, she has already secured her rise to No. 7 in the world ranking.
