The current tournament champion Jelena Ostapenko is still full of very good feelings. She didn’t have an easy second round match against Fruhvirtov’s older sister, but she adjusted very well. He showed himself with confidence just like he did in his first match, and it was announced as he looks to continue his path to face the only player who is unseeded this 2023. Great game on Wednesday between Ostapenko and Sabalenka.
Ostapenko goes further
It was the first minutes of the game when both expressed doubts with passes. The two wanted to post bail and broke each other. However, the Latvian was going to take these first wills of commitment. The gap grew steadily after facing a 1-2 game from which the Czech Republic escaped. Curiously, it was the last game Linda was going to add.
Fruhvirtova tried, but Jelena had no guarantees in those break points violated the services and that first one had a total of three breaks. In the second, he got the same number of breaks, but they rode very differently. The Latvian ran much more dominantly and the first two breaks took advantage of the first opportunity. Next he got another one, but everything went well.
He had everything under control and so with that control and that direct and aggressive tennis it was remarkable. Ostapenko will be shown for sure and will destroy Fruhvirtova’s intentions in the last minutes to beat her in the WTA 1000 tournament in Dubai.
