Jelena Ostapenko was extremely close to dismantling Elina Svitolina in 66 minutes when she had her first match point on a 6-3 5-2 scoreline. Eventually, things got extremely complicated for the Latvia that managed to conquer the second set at the breaker after wasting seven match points! The final score was 6-3 7-6 (6) for Ostapenko.
