Ostapenko Wimbledon

Jelena Ostapenko is one of those players whose tennis is, on the whole, highly unpredictable. Capable of making numerous unforced errors, the Latvian can also dominate anyone on a good day.

And so far, Ostapenko is treading water at Wimbledon. With a very aggressive game plan, the 27-year-old has never doubted her ability and is racking up a string of really big wins. First humiliating a Tomljanovic who had just made a final on the surface (6-1, 6-2), she then went on to crush Snigur (6-3, 6-0) and Pera (6-1, 6-3). Having qualified for the last 16, she didn't have much more trouble against a confident Putintseva, who had just eliminated Iga Swiatek (6-2, 6-3).

When questioned by the press, she was all smiles and delighted with her current performance: "This is one of my favourite tournaments. I won it as a junior. I have great memories. We're in a different place now. But I'm just really happy with my performance.

I appreciate my time here so much. Thanks guys. I love it here. My level is really good in the decisive moments.

And I just try to play my game and be aggressive in those decisive moments. I think that's the key. I think so far, I'm playing pretty well (smile)."
