16 ITFWORLD SUMMER 2017 ROLAND GARROS AND WIMBLEDON hours in the fourth round at Wimbledon by Gilles Muller. "And because I am 31 already and not a kid any more." Nadal hoisting the Coupe des Mousquetaires would not have surprised anyone, but Jelena Ostapenko lifting the Coupe Suzanne Lenglen? Even if Halep insisted on the eve of the clay-court major that 15 players were the favourite, the Latvian presumably would not have featured on the list. Her junior title at Wimbledon in 2014 proved that Ostapenko was one to watch, yet few thought this Roland Garros would mark her breakthrough. Consider that Ostapenko lost in the first round of the juniors in 2014, first round of qualifying in 2015 and the first round proper last year. Ostapenko however showed glimpses of what was to come in the build-up to the French Open, reaching the final in Charleston and semifinals in Prague. "I'm really happy to win here. I still cannot believe it, because it was my dream and now it came true. I think I'm going to only understand this in maybe a couple of days or couple of weeks." - Jelena Ostapenko Simona Halep was a second-time Roland Garros runner-up Roland Garros semifinalist Dominic Thiem Karolina Pliskova was tipped by many to win either Roland Garros or Wimbledon Stan Wawrinka came up short against Rafael Nadal in the Roland Garros final
