Maria Sakkari presents her inspirational logo

"One of the greatest civilisations in the world has become an inspiration for the birth of my logo."

Earlier this year, Greece’s tennis star Sakkari presented her new logo on social media, which is inspired by Greece's culture.

"As you may know, my country of origin, Greece, means the world to me and I draw a lot of my motivation and inner strength from this beautiful land and its rich heritage," the World No.22 tennis player said.

"I hope it embodies not only tradition, but also the resilience of our nation and its people," she added.
