WTA Beijing, semifinal, hard. Very late rounds with only strong players left, but at this moment i think Simona Halep is much better player and with more energy and motivation. Jelena is playing great too, but she is in strange position, she played to many events in Asia i guess.
Simona Halep (2) - Second in the ranking, romanian girl is very good tennis player, even if she is short and not so strong she can play really well on all surfaces and defeat all other players. Talented player from Romania is very dangerous, she can mix up her game really good, one second Simona can be agressive, other second she can use a deffensive tactics. 18/9 hard surface record for this year, she lost many matches in first phase of season, so now she is playing really well.
Jelena Ostapenko (8) - She's from Latvia and she is very young only 20 years old. We all was suprised then she won Rolland Garros title against Simona Halep in the final. Year by year she had different situations in tennis, she was very confused, angry, but now she is in perfect shape, she have best tennis year so far. 21/10 hard surface balance at this moment, she already won one title in Asia and she is reaching for second one. One thing not so long ago she had mental brake down in few matches.
In the end - I guess Simona is more fresh at this moment, she made revenge against Sharapova, Kasatkina and i think now is time for Ostapenko.
