Statistics - Ostapenko, as offensive as ever!
Jelena Ostapenko is not just any player in the world's top 10. The Latvian, who has already won two titles this year (Adelaide, Linz), is not one to hold back. Refusing to be a spectator to events, the 26-year-old is in the habit of taking control of exchanges, all the while playing high-risk zones.
The world No. 9, who won the French Open to everyone's surprise when she was just 20 years old, once again didn't hesitate to take all the risks. After a very quiet victory over Potapova (6-4, 6-2), she went through all kinds of emotions in the third round. Opposed to a Sorribes Tormo (47th) who took no risks, Ostapenko finally came through after a very tense match (6-4, 5-7, 6-1 in 2h32). Beyond her success, it was the match statistics that proved absolutely lunar. While the Spaniard hit 6 winners to 10 unforced errors, the world number 9 sent out 72 winners to 69 unforced errors. Absolutely unreal!
Winner over Sramkova on Monday (4-6, 6-4, 7-6), the champagne tennis player will now face Aryna Sabalenka in the quarter-finals.
