Jelena Ostapenko is one of the most aggressive tennis players on tour. Steve Tignor described Ostakenko’s style of play as “See ball, hit winner”.  Ostapenko won the 2017 French Open but has since struggled with form. Her current sponsors are Pironetic, Rolex, and Wilson.

Ostapenko, who goes by the name Alona, to friends and fellow players was born in a sports family. Her dad, Jevgenijs Ostapenko, played professional soccer for FC Metalurh Zaporizhya in Ukraine. 

Ostakepnko is a good dancer. She even competed in the National Latvian Championships for Ballroom Dancing. She credits her excellent footwork to years she spent practicing dancing.

Latvia issued a postal stamp to commemorate her French Open win in 2017.

Have you seen the “EA” (Electronic Arts) logo on Alexander Zverev’s shirt? I first saw this during the 2020 US Open. He also has the EA logo on his sleeve at the French Open.

Clearly, EA is paying Zverev to wear the logo on his shirt. Here is why.  EA’s Tennis World Tour 2 game came out on September 24th, 2020 and EA is trying to promote the game with the Zverev partnership.

EA has two other tennis games – AO Tennis 2 and Tennis World Tour.  You can check out the promo for the new game here.
