Ostapenko Fighting to Stabilize
Jelena Ostapenko struggled badly last season, lacking consistency and direction across most tournaments. She ended 2025 with a losing win–loss record for the first time since 2019.
The poor run has carried into 2026, with just one win from three tournaments so far. That lone victory came in the opening round of the Australian Open.
Despite the slump, Ostapenko remains inside the top 30 thanks to big results in 2025, including the Stuttgart title and the Doha final. With heavy points to defend soon, she needs wins quickly to steady her season and rebuild confidence.
