Player Overview

Ben Jones holds a career win percentage of 62.5%, bolstered by a 64.7% success rate over the last two years. Her Elo rating of 2036 indicates a solid standing, yet she has shown inconsistency, particularly on grass, where her performance has not yet blossomed. With a recent trend of improvement, Jones has won 60% of her last ten matches, hinting at potential growth as she navigates this surface.

Jones enters this match after a string of disappointing results, including losses to T. Gibson and L. Siegemund. Her only recent win came against Beatriz Haddad Maia, which may offer a glimmer of hope. The challenge against Ostapenko presents an opportunity for Jones to capitalize on her opponent's vulnerabilities and regain her footing in the tournament after a shaky start to the grass season.
