Jelena Ostapenko vs Marina Stakusic Tips

I would lean towards Ostapenko in this game. She's a powerful player, knocking about the top 30 at the moment, so I would typically expect her to win at least a couple of rounds.

The level of players is not even comparable. But Ostapenko often doesn't care and is not focused. It was the case last year at Guadalajara when she lost to Stakusic.

Stakusic beat Ostapenko 2-1 at Guadalajara last year. It was one of her biggest wins. I think she will play this match with big motivation and self-belief, while Ostapenko won't care again.

Stakusic beat Ostapenko at Guadalajara last year. Ostapenko beat herself actually in that match, didn't try hard, barely moved, and didn't hustle for points. I think the same can be this year.
