Would love to see a fearless and confident Ostapenko in Roland Garros. She is pure entertainment, in spite of all the controversies she causes.
can't wait to see her facing Iga! Not sure if they ever played, but it'd be a great duo!! Ostapenko has a lot of her very unique charisma!
Well, Swiatek hasn't won her match yet! Ostapenko leads their h2h 3-0, and I think she can beat Swiatek again.
@@CA-Premium true that
@@CA-Premium looks like tough rivalry! Great matches ahead
@@EvacuationRoute101 They have played and Osty brutally destroyed Iga on hard courts. They're both French Open champions so, it should be interesting but I'm going with Osty.
What stuns me the most about Jelena is how well she moves despite not having a fitter build. She has marvelous timing when she's calm and has explosive baseline drives which had Paula scrambling. Jelena really is a beautiful ball striker when her heart is in it. RG should be a very interesting GS this year 🤞🏽
She's clearly very fit and strong, just not super thin.
@@ltrotter636 the slower clay helps her to time her shots.
I mean she's a grandslam champion at Roland Garros, hardly surprising she's good on clay.
@@CA-Premium I'm not surprised she won before. Only saying if she were fitter, she'd win more. I'm not criticizing her.
Ostapenko and Badosa both are suddenly much fitter than last year. It's obvious both in the way they look and the way they move. Maybe it's a reaction to their poor results last year, or maybe it's a reaction to the sudden dominance of the S-S-R trio, particularly the fact that Swiatek combines great movement with power. Whatever it is, it's good to see them come back from near irrelevance. They are fun to watch.
For the first time i saw Ostapenko smiling so nicely with the opponent at the end great to watch 😊
What? A hug and a smile at the net from Ostapenko?
OK, I'm officially obsessed with Ostapenko. 🔥
0:20 omg wat a point
Ostepenko is really good and she didn’t even look tired. She knows how to send the opponent running from side to side. Congrats!
She's been working herself into better shape and it's getting results. She's a fantastic ball-striker and takes the ball earlier than any other player on the tour.
Sad for Paula.. Big support from Italia😢❤
Ostapenko’s game is fun to watch. The power and precision is immaculate when she plays well. Her power is effortless and she has the ability to create power shots from anywhere. Her attitude is even getting better, not as bratty as she was. Hope she continues to play well and grow as a person ❤
Amen! She is growing up, dare I say it, and humbled by some harder years, she's probably appreciating the wins and putting in the work like everyone else. Even though her ball striking puts her a cut above, she still has to work and stay humble. I love watching her hit - she reminds me of my all-time fave Monica Seles.
happy to see Ostapenko giving more sporting handshakes or hugs at the net lol
Penkos back guys! Into the semis. Great games by both ladies
Congrats Ostapenko! When she's firing on all cylinders, Jelena is hard to beat. Ostapenko vs Muchova with their contrasting styles of play and personalities would have been even more interesting to watch.
Badosa just has no variety, and was shown up by Ostapenko.
When ostapenko plays like this she is THE BEST of the world, she can beat anyone. Badosa did well to win a set with ostapenko's level. I hope she feels good for RG because at the end of the match she was not feeling well
Love her or hate her, Jelena is incredibly entertaining on clay. Great match from her.
She's such a Queen!! Your faves could never...she's literally immaculate when she's on. No one in tennis history could withstand her winners if she's making them in.
ok dud chill df out
Lol forgot the Williams sisters so soon? They knew how to handle such big hitters very very well.
@@ahjax6771 why? You mad? Im a big fan and I'll shout it from any rooftop. Stay pressed. You will continue to see my comments on every Ostapenko video 😁
@@brandonaldaymachuse6669 It doesn't matter if you are a fanboy IDC. just don't start with those silly comparisons. stay in your league kid
@@ahjax6771 I'm in my own league. You stay in your lane and off my comments.
No one can maintain that kind of constant brutal hitting like Osty. Just on another level right now. Very good match.
When Ostapenko can be consistent she has the power to take anyone off the court. It's just a matter of if she can allow herself more margin for error, that's how she was able to dominate at French Open first time.
totally agree, saw the match and the consisetency Jelena displayed blew me away, usually she attacks for 4-5times and if the opponents hold on, she commits errors, and that's how her opponents win points in most of time, with the stability she presented yesterday, she could be unbeatable, hope she can keep the form.
a new brand of ostapenko, her look, her calm not too rushing, tactical game plan, and big hitting from both wing as her trade mark
42 winners😂??????? Wth😂
her court position is so assertive - never backs off - half volleys opponents deep shots very well & if their length / direction wavers slightly she is taking everything on top of the bounce - but.....so does Iga..will be very interesting when they meet
Jelena blew Iga away last time they met, though I would think Swiatek may approach it differently if they do meet again.
@@zabaleta66 oops...iga pulled out?? I didn't see the match..what happened? Rybakina v osto..can't wait.
Does Penko's play make anyone else think of Serena? That power!! 💪
Good grief - Ostapenko's pace and power were beyond awesome!
Badosa played an amazing match, nothing to be ashamed of, such a great competitor👍. Penko was just unplayable for most of the match. Hopefully she can take this to the next round, she'll need to be at her best against Swiatek/Rybakina.
Amazing? That cliché word. Badosa is out . Isn’t that amazing?
@@rexx893 jugó un tenis de altísimo nivel, así que sí amazing es el adjetivo que se merece.
When Ostapenko laughs her beauty increases by a country mile.
Wow, what power in every shots. Mean business
A warm hug only been seen when she won the match. congrat
U missed her loss to jabeur in Stuttgart 🤡
Th grit of these ladies, incredible! Ostapenko is literally on 🔥
I hope Jelena will maintain this form into the french open.
De speed with which she hit de forehand n backhand is amazing.
Win or lose, she is laser focused and determined round after round and it's beautiful to see! Only Rybakina, Sabalenka, Swiatek stand a chance of beating her right now.
I don't think Penko looks particularly out of shape, she's just thick/big boned. She knows how to throw her weight behind her shots that's for sure.
No doubt she uses her body well to fire her shots and her overall level is impressive for sure but she is mega out of shape for a professional athlete. Compare her body to Badosa ... She is not "big boned" but just fat (relatively to that level of professional tennis)... But again - whatever works works and if you are winning matches like this it obviously is somewhat good and respectable for sure.
@@johanneshoch9724 Exactly, compare her current shape to the one she was in when she won Roland Garros. It's day and night.
@@johanneshoch9724 She was definitely slimmer in 2017 but to say she's fat i think is a stretch. She's just thick, she's actually quicker and has more stamina than people give her credit for. There's no way she's beating these top girls without being at least relatively fit.
Jelena is BumbleBee of Tennis World. She is short and heavy and most people would assume she cannot play tennis but she doesn't care and plays fantastic tennis. I've seen her live, she is force of nature. Her energy level is insane, she is fast and her stamina is impressive. Add great ground-strokes and here we are: she defeats Badosa. On a good day Jelena can beat any top10 player without sweat.
Actually she's not short unless you think 5' 10" is short...she just looks short because of her build.
More like a Barney of tennis. based on her previous outfits
Very well said. Sooo true . I like her also very much . She is so authentic
Ostapenko is my fav for the title! What a power and beauty and shot selection, SHE’S AMAZING
Ostapenko انت لاعبة بارعة و عظيمة و أتمنى أن تكسبي هذا اللقب ❤❤❤❤❤❤
For me ostapenko forehand is the most deadly and beautiful forehand on wta tour
I love Ostapenko.
I have a feeling she could beat swiatek/rybakina in the next match
Definitely
Let's hope so, its not good having one person dominate all the time.
@@CA-Premium agreed definitely. Apparently Iga has already won the French Open this year to some
@@cameronbedeau8542 it's not gonna be easy, considering her possible injury tonight...
Yes I think Penko will beat Rybakina. I think she's hungry for this title, and most importantly, another FO.
Heck yeah! Ostapenko is really coming for the girls omg 😳🔥
Ostapenko - wow!!!
Ostapenko! Ostapenko! My beautiful Ostapenko! Live your truth, live it with power & joy! Congrats 🎊🎈🎉
ostapenko vs swiatek?? wow
naa
Give her Serena’s serve she would win 50 grand slams
Literally best comment 👍
Common penkoo, go for d title ❤
Paula is currently ranked among 35-30, just now she rose to 29th gaining 6places, former No2 was over a year ago, the commentators somehow always favor some athletes, when Sakkari is playing they do not say former No3, they say 9th seed. Anyway, great game from both, especially Jelena, Paula has to be more consistent in order to rise again to top ten.
medias are behind Badosa. She's selling outside tennis and Badosa loves it!
I agree, they hype her up. Pretty sure it has at least something to do with her being hot lol.
@@saifsattani2424 She really looks like Maria Sharapova. I wish Paula had won.
@@olivervanburen704 I think at times Paula looks semi masculine, still pretty in her own right though, but shes no Sharapova in the looks department.
@@funkslave9425 I would have to disagree. I don't think she looks masculine. I found a lot of very nice pics of her when googled.
Hopefully we see Iga vs Penko 🔥
Have waited for that match for over a year now!😂😂😂😂
I really hope Jelena would win.
Probably a meltdown in Igaland now that she's retired from the Rybakina match citing injury, probably just wants to avoid losing to Ryba 3 times in a row. Ryba's serve was crap today, I think Penko will take her down. Would love to see her take this title.
Ryba vs penko better
I hope they will meet at RG and my feeling penko will blitz iga like a train
Ostapenko dari dulu pukulannya tajam, skarang terarah sudah
Ostapenko's a joy to watch, one of my favorites. Congrats!
Ostapenko is hitting the ball very very well!
Jelena had Badosa running like crazy. 🥵 She is so good at placing her shots. Amazing.
What a match 🤯🤯🤯 Penko is so powerful with a shots !
Paula played well too, it will give her confidence for RG 🙌🏽
Penko has GREAT strategy, backed up by pretty solid strokes. I'm really curious to see what an Iga match looks like.
Jelena has consistent clean contact. Hardly ever miss hits the ball.
She a savage.
Well done Ostapenko that's was excellent wish you the win in the next match
Jelena is a titan. Such clean striking. When this girl plays well look out.
Jelena has lost a lot of weight! She is smiling more. This version of her is a wee bit refreshing.
It's penko game she shows tremendous fire power
She is looking good in her Pink and playing with great confidence 🎾🎾
The thing that shocked me the most is how friendly ostapenko at the net
Those winners from penko omg, sensational 🥵🥶
Very great player 🎉❤ostapenko I hope that you take this title ❤❤❤❤
She’s isn’t consistent enough, but I believe Ostapenko’s peak is higher than any other active female player‘s.
Penko and Rybakina are the two best ball strikers in womens tennis....you don't get much pushing from either.....great to see.
Excelente Jelena💜🫶
I know Ostapenko sometimes (most of the time) very rude at the net when she lost the match, but look at her when she's smiling, isn't she's so cute right?
SMH. Power hitting and angle precision from Jelena.
Like video game tennis
That is my point. Common sense says you should avoid being just a REBOUND WALL when dealing with a hard hitting player. Stop hitting the ball back at Ostapenko and MAKE HER DO THE FULL COURT RUNNING EXERCISES-- NOT YOU !!! When you make a bigger player hoist their extra weight around the court then you will tire them out and they will 1) make more mistakes and 2) it won't be so easy to set up for power shots when you are constantly on the run---which ironically is exactly what she is doing to her dumb-struck opponents--what a laugh !?!
Both players return to the World of the Living after a long break... Their form is growing every week and they will be very dangerous during RG ... of course, Ostapenko still has a case to settle in Rome ... Regardless of who will be her rival in the semi-finals, whether Iga or Yelena, it will be for them both even more difficult match than the quarter-final between them...
Very smart from Jelena, pushing Badosa to the far corner, before smashing the ball to the very opposite corner, knowing Badosa is unable to recover the ball
Ostapenko - 0% Defence
100% Entertainment
Attack best weapons
Wow! I didn’t know that Ostapenko can exchange warm hugs! Will see if she can do when she lost the match😅
Whenever Ostapenko is hugged it's like she's not entirely sure what's happening or how to process her emotions.
It's an unusual thing for her, so not her lol
Nice win for ostapenko!!congrats!!!
So proud of you, Ms. Jelena. Go Penko Go!
So happy for Jelena! She is excellent player and ready to compete for the title again?
Anybody doesnt like Ostapenko. But i dont. She is amazing
Ostapenko wins with these crazy angles from all sides 😊
Gilbert was just overpowered by Alona
Love me some big Osta!!
Love Badosa too for all the obvious reasons but Ostapenko's aggressive, all-or-nothing approach is simply awesome to watch when it comes off.....even just for a set!
Ostapenko is the most beautiful.
Good joke ha ha ha
Cute chubby 😁
Must suck to be legally blind, Jake.
She was hot back when she won the french
No sé si tantos retrasos en estos partidos por motivo de la lluvia acaba con la concentración de alguna jugadora. Una pena por mi querida Paula y mi enhorabuena a la mama osa
Wow wow wow , Jelena you can be sooooooo strong and dangerous ! God with you for the next game
Jelena is moving so well, will be dangerous in the french open which she has won
La primera vez que veo en individuales abrazar a Ostapenko. Lo habitual es que ni se miren a la cara o acaben discutiendo. Lástima la derrota de Badosa. Gran torneo a pesar de todo.
Lo puedes ver en semifinales de Roland Garros 2017 (ella abraza con Bacsinszki) y en final (con Halep). En lo mismo año en algun torneo de mil puntos en China cuando Halep ganó a ella y Ostapenko felicitó a Halep por lograr por fin el número uno con esta victoria. Y hay muchas veces más: la anterior con Kasatkina hace dos días.
@@janismetra1374 No me hables de la final contra Halep que me pongo enfermo. Hay pocas tenistas que no me gusten pero la que menos es Ostapenko.
@@janismetra1374 Perdona si a ti te gusta o eres de Letonia. La vi jugar mucho cuando la entrenaba Anabel Medina y cuando ganó a Halep empezó mi animadversión hacia ella. De hecho a partir de entonces no volvió a ganar nada ni a jugar bien hasta hace un año.
@@Mojican Soy letón. He entendido que tienes algunos afectos raros a ella, pero discúlpame por favor, no tengo tiempo para jugar tus juegos psicológicos.
@@janismetra1374 Ok. La que sí me gustaba mucho es Sevastova. Que no sé si se ha retirado o volverá ahora que ya fue madre. Un saludo cordial desde España.
Penko looks in great shape, might win Roland Garros again - who knows! :)
Una pena que Paula no la hicier correr algo.... Gran torneo Paula,animo y a pensar en Paris!
Ostapenko is exciting to watch - Great ball striker, her game has a great flavour
Ostapenco odds to get through next round are gold. I sensed Ostapenco will be in the final. She is all determined to win / a fighter/ and she’s got weapons and technical skills. How can not love a honest athlete. Iga or Rybakina gonna go through the acid test! Is Ostapenco the Champion… yeah❤
I'm so Happy!!!! Go Penks!!!!
Oh....... I SEE, ..... yall must've forgot.
Shes a FRENCH OPEN CHAMP. congrats penko!!
Congrats ❤osta
That was a REALLY good match and they both should be proud. Also it's WILD to think that Paula is UNSEEDED!
Quand elle joue comme ca vous pouvez mettre n'importe qui en face ça sera pareil? Bravo jelena
Look at both ladies posture comparison, sometimes it's not all about physical in sport, you just need huge talent and big guts!
Let’s go Jelena 🎉🎉
well played ladies👏,tnk u.
People often forget Jelena won the French Open on clay aged 19! Beating one of the toughest fighters in history, Simon Halep! On her day, if she gets into her flow, she can beat anyone! But Paulo put up a great fight!🙏❤️
Jelena is on fire 🔥🔥🔥
Winner after winner and more winners. 39 total. Elena was hot. Умница моя.
Ostapenko runs these girls to death. They just run and scramble on every point. It's hilarious to watch.
Jelena making the lighter players run is indeed funny but also perplexing. Why can't the lighter weight women make the heavier Ostapenko run in her discomfort zone by using the full court dimensions via just a bit of shot making variety. Are Jelena's shots so hard that her opponents can not effectively direct their shots AWAY FROM (!?!) her --shots like drop shots ; coming to the net ; lobs ; moon balls--- rather than absurdly hitting shots RIGHT BACK AT HER SO SHE BARELY HAS TO MOVE TO SET HERSELF UP TO PULVERIZE THE BALL !?!
Набрала Ленка форму к RG!! В прямом и переносном смысле!!🤣🥎🤣
I love Ostapenko
The ogre gives a very good handshake only when he wins 😂
People Always like an Exciting Matches
I love me Penko
