Another seed is out of Wimbledon with Tatjana Maria overcoming Jelena Ostapenko in a very tight 3-set match 5-7 7-5 7-5.
The German player is playing her best career Wimbledon and it's coming fairly late in her career. She revived her career this year after not playing for several years and she's in the Wimbledon quarterfinal. Maria stunned a few players already and now she did the same against Ostapenko. What makes this win especially impressive is that she was pretty much on the verge of defeat.
Maria opened well in this one taking an early 3-1 lead but that was only temporary as Ostapenko found her rhythm. The Latvian player is known for her all-attacking style and sometimes it just takes her a while to find her footing. Once she did she turned the match around getting the 7-5 win. She had 17 winners and 17 unforced errors in that one.

The attacking play continued in the 2nd set as Ostapenko jumped out to an early lead 4-1. Maria was able to wear down Ostapenko with her persistence getting a lot of balls back and the Latvian player started to miss. The more she missed the more nervous she became and eventually from being up 4-1, she dropped the 2nd set 5-7.
Ostapenko wasted two match points at 5-4 as well. The final set was a made one as Ostapenko took a 2-0 lead early. She gave it up right after that. Maria broke her at 4-4 to serve for the match at 5-4 but lost her serve to love. She broke Ostapenko once more and this time around closed out the major comeback win. 52 winners for Ostapenko but also 57 errors.

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.
mandoist09-11-2026 - Ironically, Martina became a U.S. Citizen about the same time as the Orange Convicted Felon & Abuser was just beginning on his road to losing all Daddy's Millions!!
mandoist09-11-2026 - "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?
mandoist09-11-2026 - Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
mandoist08-11-2026 - Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
