WTA Eastbourne
J. Ostapenko

Player Overview

Jelena Ostapenko has struggled to find her rhythm this season, with her career baseline hovering around 56% on hard courts, reflecting a challenging trajectory over the last two years. Currently, she is in a declining trend, having recently lost to Tamara Maria in Eastbourne, a stark contrast to her dominant wins against lower-ranked players like Zeynep Sonmez and Panna Udvardy. Her ability to generate powerful serves has been inconsistent, which could impact her performance on grass.

Ostapenko's recent matches have shown a troubling pattern, losing three of her last five, including a notable defeat against Magda Linette at the French Open. While she secured victories over less formidable opponents leading up to Wimbledon, these wins may not provide the confidence needed against tougher competition. Her upcoming match against Harriet Dart will test whether she can elevate her game against an opponent also struggling to find form.

Player Overview

Harriet Dart, with a career baseline win percentage around 45%, has faced a tough season, reflected in her declining trajectory. Her Elo rating remains low, indicating a need for significant improvement, especially on grass where she has struggled to make an impact. Dart's serve has not been effective enough to consistently put pressure on her opponents, which has contributed to her recent results.

In her last five matches, Dart has failed to secure a victory, suffering defeats against players like Sonmez and Klugman. Her last appearance at the WTA Nottingham yielded only draws and losses, highlighting a lack of competitive edge. As she faces Ostapenko in this first-round match at Wimbledon, Dart must find a way to turn her fortunes around or risk another early exit in a major tournament.
