Fifth seed Sakkari has made it through to the fourth round of the Australian Open for the second time after brushing aside Russia’s Veronika Kudermetova 6-4, 6-1 in one hour and 24 minutes.
Kudermetova may have registered more winners (15-12), but unfortunately for her, she almost tripled Sakkari in the unforced errors department (32-12).
The Greek broke the Russian five times all up and enjoyed sizeable advantages in percentage of first-serve points won (77-63) and second-serve points won (61-32).
Sakkari will meet American 21st seed Jessica Pegula in the fourth round.
