There was a bit of drama when you played here last time. But no drama this time. What do you think about that? “It’s all in the past,” says Alyona Ostapenko. “Everyone wants to win, especially in Grand Slam tournaments.” An Australian woman also commented on it at the beginning of the year.
At the Madrid tournament, Ostapenko revealed that she has become a fan of the American rapper “Lil Wayne”. “After that, he sent a message that he was a big fan of mine. Then I looked at my phone for about five minutes and couldn’t believe that he sent it,” informs the tennis player.
Will we see him in your match at some point? “I would love to see him in my game when I compete in the US Open or some other tournament.”
Haven’t you ever thought that life would be much simpler if you were boring and less of a personality. “Honestly, I don’t think about it. I’m emotional and sometimes I can shoot over the line, but that’s my personality. Of course, I’m working on using my emotions in the right way to help me on the field. But I also feel that a lot of fans are interested in watching me.” , admits Ostapenko.
American actor Steve Carell revealed that he and his wife enjoy watching Ostapenko’s matches. “Yes, I saw it. It’s nice to hear such things,” says the Latvian tennis player. “He’s achieved so much in his acting career, it’s a whole different world and you can learn from people like him.”

Now you are in the same branch with the leader of the world ranking, Iga Šviontek, to whom you have never lost. What do you expect from these two weeks? “I will concentrate on each relevant match,” begins the Latvian tennis leader, but the reporter shows disappointment upon hearing this. “I know it’s a boring answer. But I try to focus every game because it’s never easy, especially on grass where things can happen. I like this surface, but some other girls play well too. If I don’t put pressure on myself and I’m really ready for the match, then I play much better.”
