REUTERS: Serena Williams was sent spinning out of the Western and Southern Open by Maria Sakkari on Tuesday after the Greek rallied from a set down to beat the 23-times Grand Slam champion 5-7 7-6 6-1 and reach the quarter-finals.
World number 21 Sakkari dragged the set to a tie-breaker before levelling the contest at 1-1, then surged to a 5-0 lead in the decider and completed the upset win on her eighth match point with a powerful forehand."I knew it was going to be an ugly match from my side but I'm extremely happy with the result," Sakkari said."She's a role model for me and many others. What she has achieved in our sport is unique and I don't know if anyone else is going to do it again.
