Jelena Ostapenko vs Marina Stakusic Prediction & Picks - WTA Mérida
by Lou Aguila | in Tennis Picks
Former French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko of Latvia will square it off with Marina Stakusic of Canada in the second round of the WTA Guadalajara Open on Thursday in Guadalajara, Mexico. Ostapenko will be playing her first match since losing to Naomi Osaka in the first round of the 2024 US Open championship. The Latvian entered the tournament looking to snap a three-match losing streak that began in a loss to Taylor Townsend in the third round of the 2024 National Bank Open in Toronto. Meanwhile, Stakusic ended her losing streak with a surprising 6-2 6-4 victory over Paris Olympics women’s singles semifinalist Anna Schmiedlova of Slovakia. Stakusic never gave Schmiedlova a chance as she captured 71 percent of her first serves and broke her foe four times in the match.

Stakusic, meanwhile, has never beaten a top-20 player in her career.
