Command Analysis

Jelena Ostapenko

Latvia

For the first time in the season Jelena Ostapenko reached the semi-final of WTA tournament. In the previous week at Birmingham Latvian player got herself adapted to the grass, but won only one match. She improved significantly in Eastbourne.

Ostapenko had a difficult draw since the start. In the first round she played against the finalist of this year Roland Garros, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. However, it was an easy match for Jelena (6:1, 6:3). After that she played against the winner and the finalist of Birmingham tournament, Jabeur and Kasatkina. Jelena needed three sets in both of those matches. We can say that Latvian player improved her game during the tournament, adapted to the local court and is now playing like she used to.

Elena Rybakina

Kazakhstan

Elena Rybakina started the grass part of the season at Berlin in the previous week. We can't say that it was a successful tournament for her. After a victory over Rogers she was beaten by Muguruza in the second round (4:6, 3:6).

In Eastbourne Kazakhstan representative is also not looking confident. In the first round she lost a set to a low-ranked player, Dart (6:2, 6:7, 6:4). In the second round she was close to losing a set to Svitolina (6:4, 7:6). In the quarter-final Elena was playing against Sevastova and secured a win only after the tiebreak in the third set (2:6, 7:6, 7:6).
