I'd rather watch paint dry! Ostapenko's another player who made a name for herself by defeating Serena in a Major final ('17 FO) unexpectedly and's done nothing since! She's made a nice living I'm sure, but it's amazing how this happens again and again on both sides of Tennis' tours!

Jelena returning well off Vika's 2nd serve and breaks
Back on serve in the 3rd set 3 all

Jelena's game has always been 'hit and miss' she is supper aggressive and has to learn how to play with 'controlled aggression' she is still young enough to learn,the question is....will she?

BTW Jelena beat Halep at RG in 2017 to win her GS title

At my age, I have to start checking info! I've relied on my memory for too long & I think it's fading at 64!

We have something in common we are the same age

Vika's going to be sorry she let Ostapenko back in this. She's brutal when she's on.

4 games all on Jelena's serve .

It is Vika's 1st serve that has let her down...

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Got to credit Jelena's cross court bhand in this match,she just did another one and holds serve
Jelena 5-4

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

5 games all......the player who makes the least amount of UFE and holds serve will win? easy peasy

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jelena going too close to the lines BP for Vika

Vika breaks and will serve for the match 6-5

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Great lob from Jelena over Vika who is 6 feet tall

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Pure grit from Vika who has had BPs against her 40 all

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

What a match ...Vika staying aggressive and wins 36 63 75....PHEW
