I give Jelena this, she is consistent. Consistently guessing which Jelena comes out to play. She was a regular at the ASB Classic, Auckland Aotearoa New Zealand and demonstrated big-game mentality, and then could flip. Regardless, she is a grand slam winner and has pulls out big games. Tennis like all sports has its characters and Jelena is one for me.
That's an interesting encapsulation of her as a tennis player. I think that Jelena winning the French Open at such a young age kind of put her in a spot where more such success was to be expected of her. Unfortunately, and there have been other players over the years who've experienced this, that expectation became an unhealthy pressure on her year after year, which can be particularly virulent on the mind of a young athlete. Factor in some occasional injuries, as well as Jelena's belligerent (and sometimes downright weird) on-court antics, and you have a would-be perennial top-tenner that had the misfortune of peaking too soon in her career, and who is now generally unable to get past a vastly improving field of competitors as well as her own stagnating self.
@@hiwayman981 well said! It is as good an analysis of her career and typology of where she is at that I’ve read or could have ever thought of. Nicely analyzed and written!
@hiwayman981 have you seen her mom, and how she is mean to ither players who were her daughter opponents, she is a straight out rude and spoiled, disrespectful person and that behavior learned from parents. You are reaching about her and it's nit that deep. She is just not consistent, never has been, and nobody likes her on WTA for a reason.
@Sabirreboiii if you are an athlete, you can go sloppy with your body. It's not unnecessary, and it's not necessary to be sensitive here. Being overweight is not healthy for anybody, let alone for an athlete!!
Hate me for saying this i wonder of Ostepenko has a medical condition she doesn't want to know about. When she came out she was firing her shots won her FO gained a bunch of weight. Im pretty sure her diet and exercise is all the same. But sometimes when you have a medical condition you don't know about it can play with your hormones, you can easily hold on to weight even if you eat the same have the same diet you've always had and can get you irritated and sometimes you get mad and lose all inspiration. You just blame it on having a bad day. Not knowing it's a medical condition Just my 2 cents.
Fat jokes aside, since people seem to focus on that, Ostapenko just plays like she doesn't care if she wins or loses. Shes lacking competitiveness. If she would improve her mobility and attack balls like a Big Mac darn, I tried, she might be ok.

Ostapenko is somehow both an underachiever and overachiever. So rare
@@nicorsar underachieving in kindness and sportsmanship for sure 😊

I'm gonna miss my girl Penko after her retirement. She's one of a kind, no doubt about it.
Ostapenko did not want to win for some reason.. she's not even that disappointed..
Ya’ll stop fat shaming Ostapenko 😢
She is super fit watch some of her fights
Why did not you show the first set prior to tie break? From 1:5 to 6:6.
Well played Bouzkova.
How does Ostapenko move on the court ....she looks so unfit
Shebis young and athlete yes she does look little fat but she has the skills to get through matches.
What an unnecessary comment…

She relies on power mostly so she doesnt have to move much
Get a grip. Only stating the obvious @@Sabirreboiii
Butterbean was too
