Ostapenko reaches first WTA final of 2019 with victory over Alexandrova

Ostapenko saved three match points en route to a 1-6, 7-6, 7-5 victory over Alexandrova who was no.8 seed in the Austrian tournament.

It was a topsy turvy affair with each player having 14 break points in the match; but it was Ostapenko who claimed victory after brilliance at the end of the second and third sets including saving one match point.

Next up for the Latvian will be an intriguing tie; where she takes on Coco Gauff for the title; with the latter into her first WTA Tour final.

It could be a return to form for Ostapenko or the start of something special for the young American; it will be one to watch that is for sure!
