WTA Montreal 2025. Sakkari debuts with nighttime victory and sets up meeting with the champion

It took Maria Sakkari almost two and a half hours this morning to start off on the right foot in the WTA 1000 in Montreal. Her match against Carson Branstine began on Monday and ended on Tuesday, precisely at 12:05 in the morning. In the end, the Greek player secured the victory (6-2, 3-6, 7-5) in a tournament where she hadn't celebrated a win since the 2021 season. The not-so-good news – or maybe not, we shall see – is that in the second round she will face the reigning two-time champion: Jessica Pegula. Two old acquaintances who have faced each other up to eleven times! with a 6-5 advantage in favor of the American. Anything could happen.
