Ostapenko destroys Raducanu in one of the exhibitions of the year

Jelena Ostapenko she is a splendid player. If all the pieces of the puzzle fall into place for her and the Latvian feels her racket as a mere extension of her arm, her opponent should be ready to be showered with winning shots. When your serve isn’t quite perfect, as happened to Emma Raducanu today, those winners multiply. The truth is that Ostapenko signed one of the exhibitions so far this year in his debut at the WTA Stuttgart 2023, dwarfing the British tennis, a mere spectator within the cascade of winners that came from the other side of the court. Unmitigated triumph (6-2, 6-1) in less than an hour, an incontestable victory that will pair her in the next round against Our Jabeur.
