It's well known that Jelena Ostapenko is capable of stunning feats at any time of the season.

The Latvian crushed Jasmine Paolini in the Round of 16 at the WTA 1000 tournament in Doha. In just 1h05 of play, Ostapenko won 6-2, 6-2.

With 31 winners in 16 games played and 76% of points won behind her first serve, she was in fine form.

She had played in the Doha final in 2016, aged 19. She declared: "I feel like this is where it all began for me".

Ostapenko will face either Ons Jabeur or Sofia Kenin in the quarter-finals.
