Ostapenko, a Champion here in 2017
World No. 15 Jelena Ostapenko will look to turn around her uneventful US Open swing in the 2022 Korea Open, where she is the top seed.
Having won the tournament in 2017, the Latvian will fancy her chances of another similar feat. Still, she is in a precarious bracket comprising rising stars like Linda Fruhvirtova, Emma Raducanu, and Rebecca Marino.
Ostapenko is heading to Seoul with a tally of 25-15 – supported by a singles title from WTA Dubai and the runner-up silverware in Eastbourne. On the doubles side of things, she has twice as many finals. Most recently, she won the Cincinnati Open with Lyudmyla Kichenok.
That said, her rich experience and pedigree have gone hand in hand with surprising exits; at the Flushing Meadows, she was stunned by Qinwen Zheng in the first round. It was a similar story in Rome and Madrid, where she incurred first-round losses to Lauren Davis and Ekaterina Alexandrova.

Jeong Making her WTA Debut
19-year-old Korean Boyoung Jeong is slated to compete in her first WTA 250 tournament here at home.
She is currently ranked in the late 600s and, needless to say, faces a Herculean task of beating the experienced, mighty Ostapenko. Nonetheless, stranger things have happened and with a bit of conviction, Jeong can certainly put up a fight.
Boyoung has spent the entirety of the season on the ITF circuit with little avail. She is 15-11 there, with many of those wins coming in the early/qualifying rounds. Her last stint was in Yeongwol, where she lost in round two to the then #558 Punnin Kovapitukted.
Ostapenko v Jeong Prediction and Tip
Anything short of a straight-set win would be unacceptable from Ostapenko. Given her experience, she should do well to win this one comfortably and breeze into round two.
Tip: Ostapenko to win in straight sets: 3/8 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
