Jelena Ostapenko – Iga Svyatek are the headliners of the round of 16 of the US Open 2023.

So far, the two athletes have met 3 times and each time Ostapenko won.

By the time she reached the 1/8 finals, Olena Ostapenko had knocked out Jasmine Paolini, Elina Avanesyan and Bernarda Pera and now seems ready to face the WTA leader.

On the other hand, Iga Sviatek has been on a roll so far at Flushing Meadows and has easily outlasted Rebecca Peterson, Daria Saville and Kaya Juvan to remain undefeated in this tournament.

It’s Jelena Ostapenko’s first time to play in the US Open round of 16, but the Latvian is targeting the quarters and had a message for Iga Sviatek.

“It’s going to be a tough match, but on the other hand, I have nothing to lose…she’s playing pretty consistently. He wins a lot of matches. But being number 1 is not easy either, because everyone wants to beat you. I’ll probably use it.” Ostapenko asked at the press conference.

US Open 2023 will be held from August 28 to September 10, and the most important matches from Flushing Meadows will be on HotNews.ro every day. Titled champions – Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Svyatek.
