Two semifinal runs define her peak

Maria Sakkari’s best Grand Slam results are two semifinals, and they came in 2021 at the French Open and US Open. Across 42 tournaments and 99 matches, those are her only results beyond the round of 16.

2021 was her breakthrough season

In 2021 she reached the semifinals twice, plus the Wimbledon round of 64 and the Australian Open round of 128. That is her strongest single-year Grand Slam profile in the data, far ahead of the surrounding seasons.

Her results were strongest from 2019 to 2022

From 2019 through 2022, she reached at least the round of 32 in every season and peaked in 2021. The sequence includes two round-of-16 finishes in 2020 and a round-of-16 at the 2022 Australian Open.

Hard-court majors produced her deepest non-semifinal runs

Outside her semifinal years, her best Australian Open and US Open results were both round of 16 finishes, at the 2020 Australian Open and 2020 US Open. Her French Open and Wimbledon bests outside 2021 were round of 32.

Her early Slam record was modest before the climb

From 2015 through 2018, she never advanced beyond the round of 32, and she opened with a US Open round of 128 in 2015. The first round of 16 in the dataset appears only in 2020, showing a clear later-stage jump.
