I think she's just fine with this one.
It'll take a while for her to get back to match fitness and those in the know were impressed by her performance.
I just hope she does not enter too many WTA 500 tournaments before the French, although her many sponsors may wish differently.
Not much was said about her 2021 USA final opponent Leylah Fernandez, who was dumped out by Alycia Parks on Wednesday. Even when you've no medical issues, you can have an off day.
Jelena Ostapenko entertained the spectators today, (again) this time by chucking her team out of their box, (rather than just blaming them) when things weren't going well against Ajla Tomljanović, with whom she has history.
Ajla accused her of cheating, at Wimbledon in 2021, when Jelena took a long medical timeout between games when she wasn't playing well, not as would be usual, at the end of a set. She went on to lose to the Australian.

But Ostapenko got her act together and came through, 6-0, 3-6, 6-4.
She now faces Victoria Azerenka, who sported yellow knickers over her black, "Max Wall tights." A most odd combination.
If she keeps it together, I think Jelena will win.
What is it about Emma that you think will propel her to another major (or even minor) tournament victory?
