Ostapenko vs Petkovic

Andrea Petkovic played Latvian cutie Jelena Ostapenko today at the 2016 Qatar Total Open semi-finals.

Petkovic jumped early to a 5-0 lead in the first set, but Ostapenko started surging back and it was quickly apparent that the German was having troubles: she had a slight limp and ended up crudely discussing the health status of her left thigh with her coach, culminating in a trainer break after Ostapenko took a 6-5 lead (and eventually won the set).

Early in the second set Petkovic had to retire due to her injury, and Jelena Ostapenko has moved onto the finals tomorrow against ugly-as-sin Carla Suárez Navarro, who earlier beat Agnieszka Radwanska in straight sets.

So here's a quality opportunity to check out some of the best photos of 18-year old Ostapenko, who hopefully will knock Navarro down and restore some eye candy to the WTA Top 10 that has been sorely lacking as of late.
