Cornet played one of the best matches of her career against Doi, while Ostapenko also operated at a high level.Striking 38 winners across two sets is something only Ostapenko is capable of. Her error count was 23, so the ratio was well balanced. However, her serving woes resurfaced once again as she threw in six double faults.Cornet was simply crushing it on return during her first-round contest and if the Latvian doesn't improve her serve, she could face the brunt of the Frenchwoman's wrath.Cornet will look to frustrate Ostapenko by engaging her in long rallies. The former Roland Garros champion is known to be impatient and pull the trigger too soon, causing her game to fall apart at times.But when she's firing, Ostapenko is hard to keep up with. She has the ability to hit winners from any part of the court and is undeterred by unforced errors. Her aggression was rewarded with a French Open title in 2017, and at the very least could win her yet another match in Paris.Pick: Jelena Ostapenko to win in three sets.
