Ostapenko Looking to Get Back to Winning Ways

Jelena Ostapenko started 2022 off with some good results but then lost steam as the year went on.

The Latvian hopes to rediscover some of her magic in Australia and the first match will bring a challenge that she hasn’t quite mastered yet.

Pliskova has defeated her five times in eight matches and that won’t be something she’ll forget. They’re about two years removed from their most recent clash and plenty changed since then. Ostapenko returned to some of her best tennis while Pliskova struggled.

As always, Ostapenko will bring the hammer and hit the ball very hard which should create problems for Pliskova because she’ll do the same. The crucial thing for Ostapenko will be how well she returns the serve of Pliskova because that’s the key to victory.

Pliskova returns to Australia after Two Years

Karolina Pliskova did not play in Australia last year due to a freak injury in the off-season that saw her miss the first few months of tennis. Being back should be a good experience for Pliskova but the first match back will be a very hard one.

It’s Ostapenko who is always tough to handle, especially if you traditionally beat her as Pliskova did in the past. Neither played any tennis before this match so that should be a good equalizer however Pliskova relies more on a good rhythm.

She’ll need to find a good serving rhythm because if she allows Ostapenko to create mayhem in her service games it’s going to be a very short stay in Adelaide for her. Either way, it’s a good test that she’ll embrace ahead of a crucial 2023 year for her.

Ostapenko v Pliskova Prediction and Tip

Ostapenko is slightly favoured here because she relies a bit less on rhythm than Pliskova. Her game is quiet fast with short points so she never gets into a good one. The key will be how Ostapenko handles returns and if she does that well, she’ll win.
