Osta, the non-binary player!

Ostapenko on grass is a force of nature. A serve with 78.3% of points won on first serve, 85.0% of service games held, a Break Points Converted at 71.4% that makes her one of the most lethal players on tour when she switches into attack mode. Champion here in 2021, two career titles on grass, a Match Efficiency of 10.000 in these stats that alone sums up the theoretical level gap between the two players. On paper, the quarter-final is done and dusted before the first rally even starts.

Except Ostapenko is still Ostapenko. The Latvian is capable of the best and the worst in the same game, sometimes in the same point. Her 0.65 double faults per match and her tiebreaks lost at 0% in these statistics are a reminder that she can self-destruct without warning. On the other side, Sönmez comes in with an impressive grass-court dynamic: 6–3 on the surface over 52 weeks, three consecutive wins this week, a 60.7% return on second serve that can exploit lapses in focus. If the Latvian goes off the rails, the Turk has the weapons to take advantage.
