The WTA 250 in Athens 2026 will have the dreamed final for any organizer. Maria Sakkari and Barbora Krejcikova convincingly won their respective semifinal matches and will battle this Sunday for the title in a match that has aroused enormous expectations. The Greek will seek to conquer the home tournament and confirm her competitive recovery, while the Czech will aim to add another trophy to a resume that already includes two Grand Slam titles.
A final with a lot at stake
Sakkari was the first to secure her spot after defeating young Alina Korneeva 6-1, 7-5. The Greek displayed a solid performance, dominating the first set clearly and showing character to close out the match when her opponent raised her level in the second set. The former world number three continues to impress throughout the week and confirms that she is getting closer to recovering the form that placed her among the circuit's best.
Krejcikova faced a tougher path, needing three sets to overcome Clara Tauson 6-1, 4-6, 6-3. The Czech, a double Grand Slam champion, reacted assertively after dropping the second set and once again showcased the immense quality she possesses when injuries allow her to compete consistently.
The final represents the best possible outcome for a tournament that has left an excellent impression. The spectacular venue, the great atmosphere throughout the week, and the high level of play have established Athens as one of the most attractive events in this category. In addition to the trophy, both players are playing for a significant boost in the world rankings. Both Sakkari and Krejcikova are currently around the top-30, and becoming champion would signify a further step towards the elite of the circuit.
