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.
