Sometimes Ostapenko’s demons come to light

In the round of 16, Ostapenko, the world’s number 10, lost 0-6, 4-6 to Žabēra, who ranks one position higher than the Latvian tennis player in the WTA ranking.

In the second set, after winning the game, Ostapenko shouted to the Jaber team sitting in the stands, which was also accompanied by the Tunisian tennis player’s husband Karim Kamoun.

“The truth is that everyone has a different personality on the court. Everyone knows Jelena. She has told me that sometimes the demons in her head come to light in the middle of games, so I understand her,” portal “sportskeeda.com” quotes Jaber.

“Maybe she told them some bad goals, but I think they can handle it – they are adults. It’s out of my control. The important thing is to win and stay motivated until the end,” added the Tunisian athlete.

Although the tennis players are familiar and have trained together, Ostapenko greeted Jaber with a cool attitude after the match, avoiding eye contact.
