- When Jelena Ostapenko cracked a backhand down the line to win the French Open in 2017, it flew with a sound that seemed to herald a new star in women’s sport.
Initially, there had been nothing to suggest she would go deep at Roland Garros, much less shake up the world of women’s tennis. Certainly not in her first match when she laboured past a little-known American in three unremarkable sets. It was Ostapenko’s first title of any kind, emulating the feat of Gustavo Kuerten — the Brazilian who won his first Tour crown at Roland Garros on June 8, 1997 ... the very day Ostapenko was born.
But the shots which powered her to the title two short years ago are still in the armoury, and all it would take is for something to click, some French flame to reignite, and she could go on a run. “When you win a Grand Slam, management, sponsors and everything gets added on to that and I’m sure that can have a negative effect.”
