Frech beats Ostapenko 6-1 6-3 in Cincinnati Round of 64

Magdalena Frech produced a commanding performance to see off Jelena Ostapenko 6-1 6-3 in the Round of 64 at the WTA 1000 in Cincinnati, taking control from the outset and never letting the Latvian settle. The serve numbers told the story: Frech landed 52.1 percent of her first deliveries and won 80 percent of those points, with three aces against a single double fault. Ostapenko, by contrast, found only 42.9 percent of first serves and coughed up 13 double faults, winning just 25 percent behind her second ball. For the Pole, it was a clean, efficient win over a former Grand Slam champion.
