Current World No. 7 vs Former World No. 3 - All You Need to Know.
No. 8 seed Mirra Andreeva is set to oppose former World No. 3 Maria Sakkari in a potential match of the week contender at the Australian Open 2026. The Russian prodigy is in red hot form at the moment, winning the Adelaide International and beating Olympic silver medalist Donna Vekic in Round-1. On the other hand, Sakkari showed glimpses of her former self with a supremely high level at the United Cup. The winner of this match-up will face either Ajla Tomljanovic or Elena-Gabriela Ruse in the next stage.
At the age of 18, Mirra Andreeva has turned the WTA upside down with her indomitable presence. She won two WTA-1000 trophies last year, and partly completed a Sunshine Double by winning the women’s doubles championship in Miami. Having made her Top-5 debut in July, Andreeva boasts a career win-loss record of 155-51 so far. The World No. 7 overcame a stern test against Donna Vekic with a 4-6 6-3 6-0 scoreline on Monday.
Maria Sakkari remains the highest ranked Greek women’s tennis player in the history of tennis. The 30-year-old has endured numerous injuries in her career, and currently sits at No. 53 in the world. While Sakkari is yet to get past the Round of 16 in Australia, she is a two-time Grand Slam semifinalist. Her two singles titles came at Morocco and Guadalajara, the latter of which was a WTA-1000 title. In Round-1, Sakkari beat Leolia Jeanjean 6-4 6-2.

Our Pick: Total Games Over 20.5 at +110
Andreeva and Sakkari rank among the top WTA starlets in terms of having a compact game style. They enjoy dictating play by generating depth on their groundstrokes and attacking the return of serve. Andreeva has a phenomenal tendency to vary pace and bounce, depending on her court position and the flow of the game. But with Sakkari keen on taking the ball early to shorten the rallies, it will be a game of cat and mouse on Wednesday.
We sense that the Andreeva vs Sakkari encounter could go the distance. The Russian has secured three of her four titles on hard courts, and won 71% first serve points during her Adelaide championship run. To counter this, Sakkari has won 70% service games and 37% return games of her own in 2026. While the rankings suggest otherwise, this could be a close result swayed by who stays more assured on their own serve. This is why the total games being over 20.5 at +110 is a best bet.
Mirra Andreeva and Maria Sakkari have yet to face one another on the WTA Tour. The head-to-head record currently stands at 0-0.
