WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Fifth-seeded Maria Sakkari is out of Wimbledon in the third round after a 6-3, 7-5 loss to Tatjana Maria.
It's the first time that the 34-year-old Maria has reached the fourth round at any Grand Slam.
Sakkari is a two-time Grand Slam semifinalist but the 26-year-old Greek player made 30 unforced errors against her German opponent on No. 2 Court.
Maria will next face 12th-seeded Jelena Ostapenko, the 2017 French Open champion.
