Greek tennis champion Maria Sakkari secured one of her biggest wins by defeating World No 2, Naomi Osaka 2-0 sets and progressing to the Miami Open semi finals.
Her next opponent is Spain’s Sarra Rorribes Tormo.
Sakkari took the first set 6-0. In the second she was behind 4-21 but managed to win the next five and complete her victory.
