Jelena Ostapenko defeated Simona Halep at the French Open women's final. The newly turned 20-year-old avoided falling behind 4-0— before rallying for a 4-6 6-4 6-3 victory Saturday on Philippe Chatrier court. The world No. 47 became only the second unseeded woman to win the French Open after Margaret Scriven in 1933 and the first player from her nation —population of about 2 million— to claim a major.
     Ostapenko suspected that Saturday's match in sunny, warm conditions in Paris was shown on a big screen of the TV in the city center in Riga, Latvia's capital city, where her father and mother watched her thrilling match.
     "I think it's quite a big deal in Latvia," Ostapenko told reporters. This was her first top-level title of any kind, following the accomplishment of the much loved Gustavo Kuerten at Roland Garros on June 8, 1997. The Brazilian, who made an appearance at the French Open this week, won the first of his three titles on the day when Ostapenko was born. "So I think it's kind of maybe a lucky, lucky number or something," Ostapenko told reporters. Ostapenko — who seemed to be the crowd favorite Saturday — chose tennis over ballroom dancing only a few years ago. It looks like it was the right decision.
     Her attacking game got the better of Halep, who lost her second French Open final—she fell to Maria Sharapova in 2014. Halep said she was deeply affected by nerves leading into the final. "This one hurts a lot maybe because I am more...I realize more what is happening," said the 25-year-old. "Three years ago was something new, so now I know. At some point I was like a spectator on court. She deserved to win."
