TAKES ITS TOLL. SO THE FACT THAT SHE IS MORE RELAXED GO INTO MIAMI WITH EVEN LESS STRESS ON HER BODY. >> AND THAT WAS SOME OF THE CONCERN WE HAD OVER MARIA SAKKARI GOING INTO THIS MATCH, IS HOW HARD SHE COMPETED FRIDAY NIGHT AGAINST COCO GAUFF AND BEING UP A SET IN A DOUBLE BREAK, HAVING THREE MATCH POINTS, FINDING HERSELF DOWN A BREAK IN THE THIRD. SHE COMPETED LIKE WE HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE. AND SOMETIMES THAT, AS YOU MENTIONED. YEAH, YOU THINK, OH, SHE'S GOT ALL THIS MOMENTUM A LOT OF TIMES IN AN INDIVIDUAL SPORT THAT LEAVES YOU FLAT. AND IT FELT LIKE SHE WAS A LITTLE BIT FLAT ON ONE OF THE BEST ATTRIBUTES THAT HELPED GET HER TO THIS FINAL THIS LAST TWO WEEKS. >> STRESS CAN BE SO DRAINING, BOTH PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY. FOR MARIA SAKKARI, IT WAS TOO MUCH TODAY, OBVIOUSLY PLAYING THE WORLD NUMBER ONE AS WELL, BUT SAKKARI I MEAN, WHAT DID SHE PROVE TO YOU PRAKASH, OVER THE PAST TWO WEEKS GETTING BACK TO THE FINAL HERE AT INDIAN WELLS? I KNOW SHE PLAYED WELL IN GUADALAJARA LAST YEAR, BUT I THOUGHT THIS WAS A CAREER WEEK FOR HER TO BE ABLE TO COME THROUGH THOSE WINS AGAINST NAVARRO AND COCO IN THE MANNER SHE DID IT AND JUST BE SO TOUGH EMOTIONALLY AND MENTALLY IN THAT THIRD SET, I THINK. >> I THINK SHE CROSSED A BIT OF A BARRIER. YOU KNOW, SHE HAS SO MUCH PASSION AND SO MUCH FIGHT IN HER. BUT YOU KNOW THAT FIRE, IT CAN IT CAN SOMETIMES BURN YOU. AND I THINK DAVE WHITT COMING ON WITH HIS COOL, LAID BACK TEMPERAMENT AND JUST KIND OF SPEAKING TO HER IN THAT DAVE WOOD WAY, HAS IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S PAYING OFF EARLY, AND YOU'RE SEEING THAT IN HER MOMENTS. I LOVE THAT REACTION. LINZ AT THE END OF THE COCO MATCH, SHE JUST AS SOON AS SHE WON, JUST NICE AND CALM, GOT ONE MORE MATCH TO GO AND JUST KIND OF WENT UP AND SHOOK HANDS. NOT ALL THIS ENERGY RELEASE. I THINK IT'S BEEN A GREAT WEEK FOR HER. >> DAVID WHITE'S REACTION AFTER MARIA SAKKARI BEAT COCO GAUFF SIMPLY THIS AND IT WAS ALL ABOUT THAT FOR SAKKARI HERE. THERE WAS NO EMOTIONAL VOLATILITY WHATSOEVER. AND IF YOU LOOK AT HER SCORE LINE AND HER ROAD TO THE FINAL, SHE WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE, LOST THE FIRST SET THAT SHE PLAYED IN THE TOURNAMENT. SHE WENT INTO THIS MATCH HAVING PLAYED FOUR THREE SETTERS AND JUST NONE OF IT REALLY TOOK ANYTHING OUT OF HER UNTIL TODAY. I THINK THAT MATCH AGAINST COCO FINISHING AFTER 11 P.M. AND HAVING TO FIGHT IN THE MANNER SHE DID, I THINK IT WAS JUST A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH TO OVERCOME AGAINST A PLAYER PLAYING AS WELL AS IGA. >> I WILL ALSO TAG A COUPLE OF THE TENNIS POINTS THAT HAVE CHANGED FOR SAKKARI. YOU KNOW, THE TIGHTNESS SOMETIMES CAUSES YOU TO NOT BE AS AGGRESSIVE AND INTENTIONAL ON THOSE BIG POINTS. YOU KNOW, I'VE SEEN HER IN BIG MOMENTS. SHE'S GETTING SHORT BALLS, SHE'S HITTING IT AND GOING BACKWARDS. YOU KNOW, NOW SHE REALLY SEEMS TO BE COMING IN A LITTLE BIT MORE, BEING A LITTLE BIT MORE INTENTIONAL WITH HER PLAY. >> GREAT SIGNS MARIA SAKKARI MAKING CHAMPIONSHIP WEEKEND IS BETTER FOR THE WTA. SUCH A BRIGHT LIGHT ON TOUR. CONGRATULATIONS TO HER MAKING THE FINAL DAVID WITT. WHAT A GREAT PAIRING FOR THESE TWO. FIRST TOURNAMENT TOGETHER
