Some great defensive tennis and a couple of nervy shots from Jelena Ostapenko. She's really angry with herself for sending that otherwise well-executed shot just a touch wide and she loses ad. But no matter, she's held that game anyway.
Did I say Ostapenko couldn't get back in this? I was wrong. She has. She's hitting the ball all over the court and Halep just can't make those shots in time.
Ostapenko punches the air a la Stan Wawrinka and whoops and cheers - and so does her player's box. 6-4. Talk about a fight. Those angles were very, very good.
And she holds! A couple of fabulous winners off Ostapenko's racket and she's clawing back in. Three games at a go for Osta and she's picked up momentum already!
Ostapenko holds with a couple of great winners and her shots are really a joy to watch. They're just not enough though with 32 UE so far to 23 winners.
That was a stunning winner from Ostapenko down the sidelines and she almost takes it to a break back. Can't really build on it though, and Halep holds out with a THUNDERING forehand. Best way to describe it.
Game Halep.
She leads 3-0.
And it's not just Ostapenko's serve that looks broken at the moment...
From World No. 47 she moves to World No. 12.
