Jelena Ostapenko is through to her 11th WTA singles final 🙌 The Latvian will face Veronika Kudermetova for the Dubai title after Marketa Vondrousova withdrew from her semifinal through injury.
Are these match highlights or Jelena highlights? Probably the most one sided highlights I’ve ever watched. You couldn’t find any points that Simona won? She won the first set and the only point you showed her winning was an unreturned serve.
@@doommonger7784 I know these highlight editors tend to show mostly winners but I like my highlights to somewhat resemble the match, maybe tell a story. I don’t care to see just the winners. 27-3 is way too wide a margin for a three setter that had a tiebreaker in the middle.
@@katerinapatiniotis5598 well, she's quite well known as a drama queen, that's for sure, especially when she misses the ball and the scoreboard is against her.
Well, IMO 2017 was far from called glory in WTA with one-hit wonders like Vesnina at IW, total inconsistency of top players, constant changes at no. 1 spot and lacking of superstars without Williams, Azarenka and Sharapova
Have the distinct feeling Ostapenko isn’t that popular with other players - but her attitude & demeanour are part of what makes her refreshingly watchable. She ain’t no robot, that’s for sure.
No she isn't, she's extremely self entitled and thinks shes the IT girl, and is one of the worst drama queens on tour. Acts very resentful jealous when she plays against Osaka And her playstyle is one that SHOULD be extinct and should never be taught unless they physically cannot cope playing like a actual tennis player instead of a shittapova knock off Neanderthal of "Hit hard. Not work? Hit harder, no play with IQ over 5"
@@joshnyvox1525 She wasn't rude in that match nor the entire tournament so I don't think this takes away anything from all those wins against grand slam champions. And what you consider as rude, others might see it differently. Like Danielle Collins for example, they're not everyone's cup of tea
This is a Match that Ostapenko would normally lose, but she’s become so strong and hits powerful ground strokes and has become more consistent, before she would have made a lot more Unforced Errors, well done Jelena!
Jelena never moved. All I saw was returning to Simona to out. Not a Tennis Player. Get dirty. Sweat, then you can say how wonderful Jelena was. This was not a game. I watched the entire.
@@gaylefriedman3773 that's what typically happens to counterpunchers and defensive players when their equally good powerbaseliner counterparts are hitting their spots consistently with good winner to error ratio. In other words, Halep was being made helpless and unable to play the match on her own terms. I also saw the entire match btw. 20 of Jelena's unforced errors were in that first set, which allowed Simona to win it. She also had fewer winners during that part of the match. Ofc simona can play better, but that's what happens when you are not allowed to do so.
If this was a Tennis Match, where were both Player's slamming Back and Forth, then it would look "True to Form!" I have been a Simona Fan for years. Simona gives 110% when playing Tennis. There were days Simona was "Off!" I hardly seen Jelena play a Match. This is a useless way of Tennis Player. Simona Always plays a Hard Match. Simona can run a "Tennis Court," Better than all the Women.
I'm so excited to see Ostapenko back in form. Being a Penko fan is like being on a rollercoaster but looks like she's better than ever now, just like back in 2017. She also had a tough draw with all grand-slam champions here. Really rooting for her to take home the final!
Yes indeed . She is mature now . I see this transformation in her . She give us another impression that she is v professional too Despite her downs from 2017 But she always has the fighting spirit something like Sharapova It's just the start of the season Elina will develop much more If Elina in high fit like her Roland Garros 17 run She is incredible I like to see her vs ash barty .
Wait. What was about with her last tour against Kontaveit? After losing the first set she randomly yelled to audience. Nothing is changed, sadly she is just a big baby who cant control her emotions. When the game is going well then everything is good if not then she drowns to emotions
She kind of uses her racket for a blugeon! Jeez!God! She went ballistic!!🤦♂️🤪Poor Simo! How can she play such hooligan on court! Simo plays like a lady!!
I would argue ostapenko has one of the best backhands of any wta player. Few know how good it is because she loses matches a lot and has had emotional problems in the past but her backhand has always been insanely good.
Yes, she did did it again....way to go Ostapenko....I'd be so happy if she wins the final....she deserves it all the way!! Both the singles finalists are doubles finalists too....WOW
Interesting Kvitova was much bigger at her best, but obviously a different Cass with her nightmare and has in fact looked really good this week and should really have beat Ostapenko two set to love yesterday. But credit to Jelena for her great fighting spirit. Is slightly naughty at times, ie yesterday against Petra when limping. I believe she knows all the tricks and mind games. But has a lovely smile and I do like her now even though she beat my favourite player Petra Kvitova.
She didn't look nearly as fit at the Australian Open. Then again, it's possible that her choice of clothing was just unflattering? I'm really enjoying watching her play right now. th-cam.com/video/uNtPuMcQFPQ/w-d-xo.html
Just WOW. Her ability to smash balls right down the line is fascinating. This is the 4th time in a row she wins against GS champions (Kenin, Sviatek, Kvitova and Halep). Well done Jelena, let’s get that trophy home. 🔥🔥🔥
I disagree. It's may be impossible for most "regular" players to play her, but that's because the game has become homogenized. Players that show you a different view will give trouble. Ash with her slice will get the ball down low and wide.
She is in great form but someone like Ash Barty can get her to move properly. Now Halep was mostly hitting it directly back to Ostapenko. Strange tactics..
I watched this match. Ostapenko. Has a great service return. Has a fast paced backhand for winners. She took many chances and risks. Halep. Needs to work on a stronger second serve. Jelena was driving them home. Her serve returns were consistantly down the middle. Play the sides more. In the last game where Jelena was servinfg at 5-0, Halep must have said what the heck and teed off on 2 serve returns for 2 winners. She needs to do that during the whole match. Definitely is a back board player. Just get the ball back and rely on the error from the opponent.
Simona has been on tour for 20 years with 23 titles and multiple Grand Slam titles. If her second serve is indeed weak, it would have already been worked on many times and at this point it is what it is. ALL players, yes, even Serena and Ash, have some sort of weakness The elite work through it and use their other strengths, including exploiting their OPPONENT'S weaknesses, to win at extraordinary win percentages.
@MILEA ikr? well, since she has stopped those dramas, she has been playing much better....she is using that energy in her game....dramas only consume energy, gives nothing in return but bad repo....glad she is on track now....her game results show that
Impressive run by plucky Ostapenko reaching the Final and slamming the door on Halep with the 2nd set tie-break sweep and the following bagel to close it out. A first match meeting against Kudermetova should prove interesting.
Ostapenko must keep her mindset in this match in mind if she intends to come back into top 10. It's different. Full time power hitting is not a winning formula, does not always work for her favor. Use her power effectively is what she did today. Well done!
Amazing, she defeated grand Slam winner from R1 to advance to final and in the final she Will face kudermetova. Jelena is comeback, i hope she Will win grandslam this year
Ostapenko's kamikaze style of tennis means that the best winning strategy against her is just feed her with tricky balls and let her unforce-error her way out of the match. Halep did that superbly during the first set, but Ostapenko, while not the most brilliant strategist out there, has been improving her patience over the years. She started to change the focus from hitting winners to prepare the point a little bit more, and the second set was more equilibrated. That's where Simona should have changed her tactics in response and start putting more pressure on Oliona's serve, rather than waiting for her errors. She didn't, and Ostapenko played a perfect tiebreack and then a powerful start of the third set with two consecutive breaks over Simona. By then it was over.
@@Q_from_Star_Trek I couldn't see the 2017 RG final, so I can't judge, but if if you're right it must have been by chance because in 2017 Ostapenko was a newcomer and nobody knew her style of play. As for the coach, Darren Cahill took a promising young player with a tendence to throw tantrums, whinning and lose focus when thing weren't going well and turn her hot-headed temper into gritty fighting spirit. That's all Cahill's merit, but I don't regard him as a great stratetegist. However, Halep's startegy at Wimbledon 2019 was superb; she was a player allergic to grass and became a champion.
Wtf Ostapenko! I'm def not a fan of her attitude in the past but you have to commend her for her fighting spirit! She lost her Adidas sponsorship this year but hasn't let that affect her negatively but quite the opposite its made her game even more intense I would like to believe!
Остап на этом турнире показывает характер в каждой игре...заряженность на каждый розыгрыш это ж надо вынесла Халеп всухую на тай-брейке и потом в сете честно говоря впервые такое вижу!))
My gal Ostapenko!! She lost the first set but I just knew...(.just knew!!!) that once Ostapenko started heating up, she's unstoppable. 4 GS Champs in a row she defeated!! She better not lose to kudermetova...that would be typical of WTA though 😁 either way, proud of her!!
I am really sad for Simona, definitely not the way she wanted, but still...was a good tournament for her!👏 Ostapenko played very well, her shots definitely remind us of her peak year...but I find that she was a little disrespectful in her press conference towards Simona! She should be more humble, but I guess she is still young, lot to learn..nothing against her game, just her personality...Simona is a great player, she deserves respect for everything that she did in her career until now!
This was a rematch of the 2017 French Open Final. Back then too Ostapenko came from one set down to clinch the match 4-6 6-4 6-3 and robbed Halep of what would have been first GS. This time again she handed Halep back-to-back Romanian bagels - in the second set tiebreak and third set.
CONGRAATS Ostapenko!!! You are AWESOME, fiery, passionate, never give up. YOU WILL WIN THIS!!!! I am SUPER HAPPY for Jelena and look forward to her winning Indian Wells and French Open! She was FLAWLESS today and made Halep look sloppy.
She's certainly a character Ostapenko. I absolutely love her groundstrokes and how efficient they are. Short takeback, strong core and then pow! If she could only get a bit fitter, I think she could win a few more slams. She can be really devastating when she's playing well.
Giving Halep a bagel is not easy to do. I wonder if she got hurt. Take nothing away from JO, she's not out there to hit deep middle and rally, she goes for the angles.
Ostapenko is potential grand slam champion. She will most likely win this tournament. She hits to the open court with such power and accuracy. And consistency.
Jelena Ostapenko has such devastating power when she isn’t beating herself with unforced errors, she is almost unbeatable. She literally took the racquet out of Simona Halep’s hand. Ostapenko has nearly the power and pace of a prime Serena Williams but what she has lacked that a prime Serena Williams possessed was precision. If Ostapenko can improve on her preciseness of shot she could challenge Ash Barty for the top spot in the women’s game. Also, must add Ostapenko has nowhere near the serve that made Serena so great. Her service is something else she would have to improve significantly upon if she were to launch a successful bid to unseat Barty as the WTA’s #1.
Ну что ж, мои поздравления Елене, если она возьмёт этот турнир, это будет справедливо. Очень хорошо выглядит она на нём. Чего только победа над Петрой Квитовой стоит, космический матч!
Jelena's in the best shape she's been in years, and the results are there to show for it. Well done--it's a complete joy to watch her hit a ball. I love Simona Halep's game, but to see Jelena play like this is wonderful.
Simona love always ❤️! Not a good performance, but you needed to win the tie- breaker. Hope your not too disappointed it will blow off and on to the next tournament!
@@D...M...A... She is I want to slap her if only Simona serve good during the tie-breaker, but it is what it is. So far not too bad without a coach....hope better result in Doha. How does the draw look?
@@sashasmith707 The draw looks like a playground for Simona... I think she's warmed up and pissed off... It shall be a vicious romp through the field... WWCD x 7
@@D...M...A... Simona having a problem! She needs a coach, I knew she would loose today..she doesn't play well against Garcia. She needs to get it together soon and build back up or she will be falling down the rankings..just my honest opinion and you know how much I love Simona.
Highlights of match supposed to show both players great points shots fairly but I every time I watched Halep highlights they showed more on her opponents great shots and showed how Halep struggled and lost points. Anyway , great win of Ostapenko.
Timing and strong core. Her groundies are super efficient biomechanically and every movement goes into hitting the ball and centring on the racket. Her power is similar to Seles or Pierce.
Impressive tie breaker to win 2nd set ...Ostapenka seems to have found her game there. Halep looked to tired to run in 3rd set, hope all ok and no injuries looming. 💫
Dayummm, Simona can blame the birds for the loss ha ha! Sounds like they were gonna be attacked by birds with all that chirping in the background. I've never heard such a commotion. Great play by Ostapenko!
When Ostapenko is playing like this, no one can beat her. I was even surprised Simo won the first set, anyway. Hopefully, Halep will have at least the same run in Qatar, where she can catch more points in the ranking. Starting with Qatar she has almost nothing to defend ( exception Stuttgart SF) until the american hard swing. Soooo... The road to top 10 is there, my folks.
Is no one talking about all the bird chirping going on throughout this tournament? 4:30 As an avid birder I'm intrigued 🧒 A search yielded little results. All I've learned that in Dubai public bird feeding is strictly prohibited.

Reminds me of when she beat Halep at the Roland Garros final.
Остапенко играет умно, мощно, красиво!!! 😊😊😊
What a return man !
Ostapenko showing those sponsors she doesn't need them 😍😍 let's go queen 👑✨
CONGRAATS Ostapenko!!! You are AWESOME, fiery, passionate, never give up. YOU WILL WIN THIS!!!! I am SUPER HAPPY for Jelena and look forward to her winning Indian Wells and French Open! She was FLAWLESS today and made Halep look sloppy.
Thank you so much for washing to my show may God continue to bless you
Uau!!! Congrat, Ostapenko!!! Veio com tudo pra cima da Halep!! Great job!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yes. Miss Piggy delighted us all this afternoon. I haven't laughed at such a thing in a long time.😂🤣😅👍
Ostapenko on a good day is unstoppable. A true juggernaut.
Congratulations on the well-deserved victory Jelena Ostapenko
She is getting better and better. Scary thought for the rest of the field. Elena!!!
Леночка М О Л О Д Е Ц!!!!
The guy with wardrobe malfunction 😂😂 01:38
Now that's how you close out a set!
Lmfaooo
Jelena impressed me very much.
Thank you so much for being my best fans may God continue to bless you
Do you wish to compensate me??
I do not like ostapenko’s attitude but she was playing great in this tour
Unbelievable pace! Cracking winners from everywhere
This match was like the 2017 French open final all over again ... another comeback by ostapenko
Play a simple tennis with killing forehand, the Latvian is amazing player. Awating Jelena vs Ash!!
Ostapenko is FEARLESS!
Wow, her power is back, winding back the years, incredible hitting.
She's certainly a character Ostapenko. I absolutely love her groundstrokes and how efficient they are. Short takeback, strong core and then pow! If she could only get a bit fitter, I think she could win a few more slams. She can be really devastating when she's playing well.
Хорошо она играет довольно редко...
Nu-i nimic Simona,se mai intampla....Te iubim,orice ar fi,succes in viitor!♥️
You know it's going to be a bad time when Halep wins a set 6-2 but every point other than set point is a highlight of an Ostapenko winner.
Simona❤️love u always and appreciate your efforts, but Ostapenko was stronger 👏
2017 French Open Final : Ostapenko def. Halep
Rematch 🔥
Giving Halep a bagel is not easy to do. I wonder if she got hurt. Take nothing away from JO, she's not out there to hit deep middle and rally, she goes for the angles.
Wow...that was unexpected. She bagel'd Halep? What the f--- happened? She was just absolutely murdering Halep's serve at the end there.
I still respect vertically challenged female players like Simona and Errani...tough to come off with hard serves
Ostapenko is potential grand slam champion. She will most likely win this tournament. She hits to the open court with such power and accuracy. And consistency.
What do u mean "potential" GS champion?! She already IS- famous FO 2017 - against, hello Halep again!
@@aralos123 oops. I wasn’t aware. Expecting her to win at least a Grand slam this year
If Ostapenko plays like 3. set -nobody could stop her !!!
I love when Alona gets like this. She genuinely scares me. 🤩🤩
We love you, Simona!
Jelena Ostapenko has such devastating power when she isn’t beating herself with unforced errors, she is almost unbeatable. She literally took the racquet out of Simona Halep’s hand. Ostapenko has nearly the power and pace of a prime Serena Williams but what she has lacked that a prime Serena Williams possessed was precision. If Ostapenko can improve on her preciseness of shot she could challenge Ash Barty for the top spot in the women’s game. Also, must add Ostapenko has nowhere near the serve that made Serena so great. Her service is something else she would have to improve significantly upon if she were to launch a successful bid to unseat Barty as the WTA’s #1.
You’re high
Halep is a great match up for Ostapenko, as she hits the ball very consistently and has a weak second.
Ну что ж, мои поздравления Елене, если она возьмёт этот турнир, это будет справедливо. Очень хорошо выглядит она на нём. Чего только победа над Петрой Квитовой стоит, космический матч!
watching the highlights of the first 2 sets I would have thought Halep lost 0-6, 1-6
Jelena's in the best shape she's been in years, and the results are there to show for it. Well done--it's a complete joy to watch her hit a ball. I love Simona Halep's game, but to see Jelena play like this is wonderful.
Alona the Tiebreak Queen. Let's go Alona. 💪✌💖
Lovely Jelena should have some more trophy in her collection, she is lovely girl, strong and powerful. Congratulations Jelena. Blessings.
Thank you so much for Being my fans may God continue to bless you
Simona love always ❤️! Not a good performance, but you needed to win the tie- breaker. Hope your not too disappointed it will blow off and on to the next tournament!
Ostapenko is so annoying ... Simona will have sweet revenge and you will scream WWCD... Peace to you and yours ...
@@D...M...A... She is I want to slap her if only Simona serve good during the tie-breaker, but it is what it is. So far not too bad without a coach....hope better result in Doha. How does the draw look?
@@sashasmith707 The draw looks like a playground for Simona...
I think she's warmed up and pissed off...
It shall be a vicious romp through the field...
WWCD x 7
@@D...M...A... lol let's hope! WWCD!!
@@D...M...A... Simona having a problem! She needs a coach, I knew she would loose today..she doesn't play well against Garcia. She needs to get it together soon and build back up or she will be falling down the rankings..just my honest opinion and you know how much I love Simona.
And the ironic thing is we have ourselves a Kudermetova vs Ostapenko doubles final as well.
YESSS OSTAPENKO!!!!!! Definitely rooting for her in this final!
Highlights of match supposed to show both players great points shots fairly but I every time I watched Halep highlights they showed more on her opponents great shots and showed how Halep struggled and lost points. Anyway , great win of Ostapenko.
She only hit 8 winners to Ostapenko's 36. Not much they can show
@@anthonyelg9058 6 of them were aces , so only 2 ground winners. not their fault at all
Ostapenko gets borderline unplayable at times.
If you see the camera right at the same high as the net you will be amazed with Ostapenkos balls at one finger from the net
Браво, супер Остапенко играет в последнее время
Who says you have to be tall and muscular to hit the ball hard! Ostapenko is an example. But where does she get the power from ?
Timing and strong core. Her groundies are super efficient biomechanically and every movement goes into hitting the ball and centring on the racket. Her power is similar to Seles or Pierce.
Impressive tie breaker to win 2nd set ...Ostapenka seems to have found her game there. Halep looked to tired to run in 3rd set, hope all ok and no injuries looming. 💫
Dayummm, Simona can blame the birds for the loss ha ha! Sounds like they were gonna be attacked by birds with all that chirping in the background. I've never heard such a commotion. Great play by Ostapenko!
When Ostapenko is playing like this, no one can beat her. I was even surprised Simo won the first set, anyway. Hopefully, Halep will have at least the same run in Qatar, where she can catch more points in the ranking. Starting with Qatar she has almost nothing to defend ( exception Stuttgart SF) until the american hard swing. Soooo... The road to top 10 is there, my folks.
Is no one talking about all the bird chirping going on throughout this tournament? 4:30 As an avid birder I'm intrigued 🧒 A search yielded little results. All I've learned that in Dubai public bird feeding is strictly prohibited.
I did hear the angry birds yapping. Probably placing bets on the matches or something.
Brawo Ostapenko, świetny mecz. 🥰
Ostapenko played an outstanding match against Halep!!
I'm so sad for Halep, I hope she'll have other occasions this year
I’m a becoming less and less a fan of Halep, I can’t be on the edge all the time.
