The WTA event in Cincinnati has yet to start, and we have already a huge clash: Jelena Ostapenko vs. Maria Sharapova.

Jelena Ostapenko is definitely one of the most exciting upcoming players after her incredible triumph in Paris, and she will have an extremely interesting (and tough) opener in Cincinnati against Maria Sharapova.

The Russian is currently ranked no.149, and she got a wildcard to enter the main draw in Cincinnati. Maria is definitely the most dangerous floater around, and her clash against Jelena will be an amazing match to watch because of their extremely aggressive style of tennis.

All the top players will take part in the tournament, and once again Simona Halep will have the chance to become the new world no.1 as Karolina Pliskova will have lots of points (900) to defend because she won the tournament last year.

Possible quarters

Pliskova – Wozniacki
Muguruza – Kuznetsova/Sharapova/Ostapenko
Svitolina – Kerber
Konta – Halep

Here he main draw.
