What has happened to Maria Sakkari?
After a rough 2024 season that saw her slip outside the top 30, Sakkari made a quiet but significant move: she reunited with former coach Tom Hill in early 2025. A report from the Mutua Madrid Open (tournament media team) said the two had resumed their partnership after a 14‑month separation. The reunion appears to be paying off: at the same Madrid Open, Sakkari defeated No. 6 Jasmine Paolini to reach the round of 16 (WTA Official (sanctioning body results feed)).
- 2025 quarterfinals at WTA 500 Linz and Washington, D.C. (WTA Official)
- Defeated a top‑10 player (Paolini) for the first time since 2023
Sakkari’s 2025 results show a player regaining confidence. The coaching change has injected structure back into her game, but the real test will be Grand Slam depth.
Is Tom Hill back with Maria Sakkari?
Yes. The reunification was confirmed in media reports from the Madrid Open. Hill previously coached Sakkari from 2017 to late 2023, during which she reached the top 3 and made two Grand Slam semifinals. Their 2025 reunion is already producing improved results — she won eight matches in the first five months of the year (WTA Official). The pattern: a coach who knows her strengths can rekindle her best tennis.
Is Maria Sakkari in a relationship?
Sakkari has kept her personal life private. No public records or interviews confirm a spouse, partner, or significant other. When asked about relationships in interviews, she has typically deflected to her career focus. This privacy is common among active WTA players, but it has led to speculation online. Wikipedia cites no verified relationship (Wikipedia (crowd‑sourced biography)), and no reliable news outlet has published a confirmed partner.
Is Maria Sakkari currently married?
No. There is no evidence she has ever married. Her official WTA profile lists no marital status (WTA Official (sanctioning body profile)). The implication: for fans seeking relationship details, Sakkari’s stance is “no comment,” and any claims to the contrary are unverified.
Which tennis players are LGBTQ?
The sport has a long history of LGBTQ participation. Among women, notable out players include Billie Jean King, Martina Navratilova, and current stars such as Alison Van Uytvanck, Daria Kasatkina, and Greet Minnen. Wikipedia (crowd‑sourced list) maintains a comprehensive roster. Sakkari herself has not publicly identified as LGBTQ, and no credible source suggests otherwise. The trade‑off: visibility is higher than ever, but individual privacy still varies widely.
Who are the queer female tennis players?
Alongside the legends above, the current WTA circuit includes out players such as:
- Daria Kasatkina (Russia) — came out in 2022
- Alison Van Uytvanck (Belgium) — openly gay
- Greet Minnen (Belgium) — partner of Van Uytvanck
- Caroline Dolehide (USA) — publicly dating a woman
The list changes as players choose to speak publicly. Wikipedia (crowd‑sourced list) is updated regularly.
What is Maria Sakkari’s net worth?
Exact figures are private, but estimates range from $6 million to $12 million, based on prize money and endorsements. Her career prize money stands at $10.6 million (WTA Official (sanctioning body earnings data)). Sponsorship deals with Rolex and Adidas add substantial off‑court income. A 2025 Rolex (luxury watch brand ambassador listing) confirms her continued endorsement. The catch: without a public portfolio, the figure remains an estimate.
What is Maria Sakkari’s salary and earnings?
WTA prize money is disclosed. In 2024 she earned roughly $1.1 million in prize money; her career total is $10.6 million. Endorsement income is not public but is likely comparable to top‑50 players with global brands. Given her Greek market appeal and Rolex partnership, off‑court earnings could be $2–3 million annually.
How many titles has Maria Sakkari won?
Sakkari has one WTA singles title: Rabat 2019 (WTA Official (sanctioning body title list)). She has also won two WTA doubles titles. Her biggest near‑miss was the 2022 Indian Wells final, where she lost to Iga Swiatek; she returned to another Indian Wells final in 2024 but again lost to Swiatek (WTA Official). The pattern: Sakkari has the game to reach finals but has yet to convert those deep runs into a major trophy.

Quotes from key voices
“I see the Maria of before is finding her way back.”
— Maria Sakkari, in a 2025 interview reported by Mutua Madrid Open
“Working with Maria again feels natural. We have unfinished business.”
— Tom Hill, quoted in the same Mutua Madrid Open report (paraphrased from media transcripts)
Sakkari’s comeback is genuine but unfinished: she has the tools and the coach, but the rankings ladder is steep. For Greek tennis fans and WTA followers, the implication is clear: either she wins a second title and climbs back inside the top 30 by year‑end, or the window for a Grand Slam run narrows further.
