Caroline Wozniacki, Jelena Ostapenko
Latvian player Jelena Ostapenko is enjoying the 2023 Australian Open. The 25-year-old has cruised through the first four rounds to set a date with Elena Rybakina in the quarterfinals on Tuesday. This would be her greatest showing in the tournament so far.
On the way to the quarterfinals, Ostapenko overcame the American World No. 1 Coco Gauff in straight sets on Sunday. Showing her dominance, the 2017 French Open champion dropped only one set throughout the first week. She would be hoping to continue her form and reach a new height in the next week.
The first player from her country to win a Grand Slam singles tournament was not among the favorites to win the title in Melbourne Park. But her latest win against Gauff surprised everyone. Her solid performance till now will force many tennis pundits to change their opinion about her.
