Former No.1 Caroline Wozniacki and World No.9 Maria Sakkari joined the ATP's Carlos Alcaraz and Tommy Paul for an exhibition event in Mexico City.
Sakkari and Wozniacki's Singles Contest
Sakkari and Wozniacki started off the evening's tennis celebration with a singles contest at the TennisFest GNP exhibition event in Mexico City. The match took place at the Plaza de Toros, a 41,000-seat stadium known as the world's largest bullring. In the end, Sakkari emerged as the winner with a score of 6-3, 6-4.
After her victory, Sakkari is now gearing up for the 2024 season where she will represent Greece at the United Cup in Sydney. Last year, Sakkari and Stefanos Tsitisipas led Greece out of the group stage and into the semifinals in the inaugural edition of the tournament.
On the other hand, Wozniacki, who made her comeback to competition this summer after a three-year hiatus, will begin her 2024 season at the ASB Classic in Auckland, New Zealand. Auckland holds special significance for Wozniacki as she has been a two-time champion, reaching Championship Sunday in 2015 and 2018.
