Habitual suspect. It is not the first time, nor will it be the last, that Jelena Ostapenko is involved in a spat on the court with an opponent. Her relationship with Laura Siegemund has been very tense for a long time, and in the doubles match of the 2026 Australian Open where they faced off, the Latvian hit a long-distance backhand volley directly into the face of the German.
