Jelena Ostapenko's bang: knocked out Karolina Pliskova from the French Open

In 2017, Jelena Ostapenko stood for a huge bang, when she unseeded won the entire French Open.

Is Latvian now on the way to a new bang?

"Served very well"

We do not know yet, but today she was responsible for another big bang, when she won 6-4, 6Þ against the second-seeded Czech Karolina Pliskova in the second round.

- In the beginning it was tough, she served very well.

I knew before the match that I would have to serve just as well and be aggressive when I could and that I could not afford so many mistakes.

She is second seeded and a great player, so I knew it would be tough.

I needed to play my best tennis to beat her, she said in the interview on the court after the match.

Ostapenko, who is ranked 43rd in the world, will in the next round face the winner between the 2018 French Open runner-up Sloane Stephens and the Spaniard Paula Badosa.
