Jelena Ostapenko's Game Style

Server

Medium

Jelena Ostapenko goes for big on her first serve and makes on average 20% more aces/service winners than her rivals. However, her second serve won points is below average (37%) and the edge taking on first serve is given back on the second one.

Puncher

Medium-high

Jelena Ostapenko is more a Tempo player than a Puncher but she can also attack slower balls with her forehand when she has to. When compared with her rivals, she even gets a bigger edge with her forehand than with her backhand. But his is more on her return games than on her service games that she makes the difference against her opponents and this is more the trademark of the Tempo players.

Tempo Player

Very high

Jelena Ostapenko is a dominant Tempo Player who constantly hits strong on both sides. On the WTA tour, she is the player who makes on average the biggest difference when her ratio of forehand & backhand points are compared with the ones of her opponents. On the one hand, she always takes risks and on the other hand she does not let her rivals really attack her.

Offensive Player

Medium-low

Jelena Ostapenko cannot be regarded as an Offensive player. Only 6% of her points are won at the net (with or without a volley to play) and this result is below the average of the WTA players. However, she is effective when she comes in winning 71% of her points (above average).

Retriever

Very low

Being the most aggressive player on the WTA tour, Jelena Ostapenko wins only 35% of her points by the errors of her rivals. She attacks far too much to count on her rivals' mistakes to win a match.
