Bernarda Peru - Linda Noskova

Montreal. Hard court. 1/16 finals.
In the previous round, Osaka managed to defeat Samsonova, but she had a difficult time doing so: she lost the first set and barely saved the second one in a tie break. The quality of Japanese play was not at its best. Playing against the sharp and aggressive attacker Ostapenko, Naomi will have no chances to counterattack. If the Latvians can just hit as well as they did in the previous match against Zarazua, the Japanese player will have a lot of trouble.

Ostapenko slightly surprised with her confident performance after a month of training in Ghana. However, long rallies often took a toll on her as she struggled to maintain her rhythm. She had to give up the second set to her opponent. But Jelena did not give up against Peru. Overall, she started the match excellently - with a score of 6:2.

Montreal. Tough surface. Round of 16.
In the previous stage, Osaka defeated Samsonova, but had a hard time: she lost the first set and barely saved the second after a tiebreak.

Ostapenko surprised a little with her confident performance after a month in Ghana. However, she struggled with the long rallies, as she had lost her rhythm. She had to give away the second set to her opponent. But she didn't let it go in Peru. In fact, she started the match in an exemplary manner - winning the first set 6:2.

Anastasija Sevastova had already faced a few tough matches here, each going to three sets. Considering that she is already 35 years old, and frequently plagued by injuries, plus the fact that she doesn't have a strong serve, it's difficult for me to imagine her winning a set. This will only be her second match in this tournament, and she has only participated in a few tournaments this season due to injuries. In fact, since 2022, she has only played about 30 matches, showing a lack of endurance.
