Unfortunate trend! Iga Swiatek has lost all six matches against Ostapenko
Jelena Ostapenko has become a true nemesis for Iga Swiatek. The Latvian tennis player once again triumphed over the Pole, bringing their head-to-head record to an impressive 6:0!
In a brilliant match that lasted 2 hours and 9 minutes, Jelena advanced to the semifinals of the Stuttgart tournament, where she will face Ekaterina Alexandrova, who confidently defeated Jessica Pegula — 6:0, 6:4.
Previously, Ostapenko had already defeated Swiatek in Birmingham (2019), Indian Wells (2021), Dubai (2022), at the US Open (2023), and in Doha this year.
Notably, the world's number two, Iga Swiatek, continues to struggle — since her victory at the last Roland Garros, she has not managed to string together a series of truly strong performances and has yet to win another tournament.
