Iga Świątek’s defeater Julia Putintseva. So she hopes she can maintain her form and erase the stain of being eliminated by Yelena Vesnina at the Paris Olympics three years ago. However, she suffered huge misfortune against Camila Osorio.
The drama of Iga Świątek’s rival. Jelena Ostapenko eliminated in first round of Olympics
Ostapenko started the match very well, breaking her opponent in the second game. However, she quickly made up for the loss and secured a draw. Both players struggled to score points on their serves and the match went very long. Her dreams of winning the first set seemed to be over when the Colombian was broken again. Although she lost 2:4, she won four consecutive games, ending the first set with a score of 6:4.
In the second set, Ostapenko, who was favored, also failed to perform at his best. Not only did she give up the first game, but she subsequently lost 1:4. And although she tried to return to competition, Osorio didn’t give her that chance. At the end of the match, the world No. 11 racket seemed unable to finish the match at all because of a problem with her fingers. However, the help of doctors helped her finish the final game, although it did not bring her the expected results. Journalist Jose Morgado said: “The biggest disappointment today. Colombia is on court six.”

The 22-year-old advanced to the second round. Her next opponent will be the winner of the match between Laura Pigossi and Dayana Jastremska. Ostapenko’s elimination is good news for Iga Swiatek, who has never beaten her before. In this way, our competitors’ chances of winning the entire competition are greatly increased.
This is not the first time such a stir has occurred during the ongoing IO in Paris. The previous day, host country favorite Caroline Garcia was eliminated after losing to Jacqueline Christian. “Completely disappointing,” local media wrote.
