The latter, returning to the circuit after a year of absence, used her protected ranking to enter the main draw.\n\nShe had defeated Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the first round (6-4, 7-5) and once again performed well today against the world No. 18, winning 7-6, 6-2 in an hour and a half of play.\n\nOstapenko displayed a level of play far from what she had shown in Stuttgart, winning only three service games throughout the match and losing the last six games of the match, from 2-0 to 2-6 in the second set.\n\nSevastova, who reached the US Open semi-finals in 2018, will face Diana Shnaider for a place in the round of 16.","author_id":298288,"author_name":"Jules Hypolite","author_login":"Jules Hypolite","author_logo":null,"type":"flash","image":"rlmp.jpg","imageUrl":"https://cdn.tennistemple.com/images/upload/bank/rlmp.jpg","views":{"app":"946","recent":"36","total":"2461","web":"1516","hourly":"36","hour":"36"},"cached":1745635570499,"linked":[{"type":"games","id":"9418177"},{"type":"games","id":"9418175"},{"type":"players","id":"2212"},{"type":"players","id":"2785"},{"type":"players","id":"2158"},{"type":"games","id":"9418647"},{"type":"players","id":"8804"},{"type":"competitions","id":"15258"},{"type":"twitter","id":"TennisChannel/status/1915435959656616156"}],"title":"Titled in Stuttgart on Monday, Ostapenko Falls from Her Cloud in Madrid"}},"competitions":{"15258":{"id":"15258","parent":"526","site_id":"61","name":"Mutua Madrid Open","city":"Madrid","country":"ESP","background":"","logo":"Mutua_Madrid_Open_Madrid_87.png","draw_size":128,"importance":89,"indoor":0,"week":17,"year":2025,"surface":"clay","surface_color":0,"category":"WTA 1000","time_start":1745186400,"time_end":1746395999,"qualif_start":1745186400,"qualif_draw_size":48,"qualif_rounds":2,"prizemoney":8963700,"currency":"EUR","winner":0,"gender":"women","type":"draw","cached":1745632817312}},"sites":{"61":{"id":"61","name":"Caja Mágica","city_id":"299","city_name":"Madrid","country_code":"ESP","city_timezone":"Europe/Madrid","weather":{"code":31,"temp":14,"wind":20,"humidity":62},"cached":1745632436554}},"games":{"9418175":{"id":"9418175","p1_id":"2212","p2_id":"2158","p1_seed":400,"status":"played","competition_id":"15258","winner_id":"2212","looser_id":"2158","duration":7707,"score":"6/4, 7/5","time":1745407027,"round":1,"prediction_validity":1,"prediction_points":1,"prediction_odd":2,"cached":1745580013611,"odds":[{"p1":"1.04","p2":"5.95"}]},"9418177":{"id":"9418177","p1_id":"2212","p2_id":"2785","p1_seed":400,"p2_seed":23,"status":"played","competition_id":"15258","winner_id":"2212","looser_id":"2785","duration":5478,"score":"7/6², 6/2","time":1745509547,"round":2,"prediction_validity":1,"prediction_points":1,"prediction_odd":2,"cached":1745625749420,"odds":[{"p1":"1.00","p2":"8.00"}]},"9418647":{"id":"9418647","p1_id":"8804","p2_id":"2212","p1_seed":13,"p2_seed":400,"status":"toplay","competition_id":"15258","round":3,"prediction_points":1,"prediction_odd":2,"cached":1745625663716,"odds":[{"p1":"1.33","p2":"2.98"}]}},"players":{"2158":{"id":"2158","name":"Pavlyuchenkova","first_name":"Anastasia","country":"RUS","gender":"female","rank":47,"liveRank":50,"updated":1745407028,"photo":"Anastasia-Pavlyuchenkova-40.jpg","cached":1745596511128},"2212":{"id":"2212","name":"Sevastova","first_name":"Anastasija","country":"LAT","gender":"female","rank":null,"updated":1745590156,"photo":"Anastasija-Sevastova-79.jpg","cached":1745625749692},"2785":{"id":"2785","name":"Ostapenko","first_name":"Jelena","country":"LAT","gender":"female","rank":18,"liveRank":18,"updated":1745509548,"photo":"Jelena-Ostapenko-38.jpg","cached":1745626171213},"8804":{"id":"8804","name":"Shnaider","first_name":"Diana","country":"RUS","gender":"female","rank":13,"liveRank":12,"updated":1745590156,"photo":"Diana-Shnaider-26.jpg","cached":1745625750490}},"schedules":{"263169":{"id":"263169","game_id":"9418175","time":1745398800,"day":"2025-04-23","site_id":61,"court":3,"court_name":"Stadium 3","court_order":3,"order":1,"type":2,"status":"","first":1,"last":1,"cached":1745580013621},"263338":{"id":"263338","game_id":"9418177","time":1745503200,"day":"2025-04-24","site_id":61,"court":4,"court_name":"Court 4","court_order":4,"order":4,"type":1,"status":"","first":1,"last":1,"cached":1745625749429},"263559":{"id":"263559","game_id":"9418647","time":1745658000,"day":"2025-04-26","site_id":61,"court":3,"court_name":"Stadium 3","court_order":3,"order":1,"type":2,"status":"","first":1,"last":1,"cached":1745625663717}},"topics":{}}
