PARIS, France
Jelena Ostapenko is through to her first ever Grand Slam final after battling past No.30 seed Timea Bacsinszky in the French Open semifinals.
It was a special day for both players – they were both celebrating birthdays, with Timea turning 28 and Ostapenko turning 20 – and they were bidding for the biggest present: a maiden Grand Slam final appearance.
The unseeded Ostapenko came into this year's French Open having never won a match at Roland Garros (0-2), but rallied to a stunning 7-6(4), 3-6, 6-3 victory.
She’ll take on the winner between No.2 seed Karolina Pliskova and No.3 seed Simona Halep for a shot at the French Open title.
