Ostapenko beats Abanda after a tough 3 setter

Jelena Ostapenko wins another fierce battle in Wimbledon.

After beating Aliaksandra Sasnovich at the decider in the first round, the Latvian had to do the same in the 2nd round against a surprising Francois Abanda.

The 20-year-old from Canada is only ranked 142, and she had a rather nasty experience at the Roland Garros when she lost 6-0 6-0 to Caroline Wozniacki in the 2nd round. This didn’t prevent Abanda from fighting hard and lose the match only at the end with an honorable 4-6 7-6 (4) 6-3 scoreline.

After this match, Ostapenko has a nine matches winning streak in slams, and she has reached the 3rd round at the Championships for the first time.

 

Next vs. Giorgi.

Jelena will play Camila Giorgi in the third round. The head to head is 1-0 for the Italian. Expect to see a crazy match.


3RD ROUND!
