Jeļena Ostapenko has won four of her last five matches. Here at Wimbledon, Jelena is yet to lose a set. The 2017 French Open champion will play her sixth grand slam quarterfinal, with a losing 2-3 record. Jelena defeated Tomljanovic in the first round in straight sets. It was that first round match, where he saw how good Jelena was at the moment. Her second and third round matches were also easy. She won against Snigur and Pera, while losing only 7 games altogether. Her 1/8-Final match against Putintseva was her toughest match. She won that match 6-2 6-3, which tells you how good she has been so far in the tournament. Last year at Wimbledon, Ostapenko lost against Cirstea in the second round of the tournament.
Barbora Krejčíková has won four of her last five matches. Two weeks ago in Eastbourne, Krejcikova lost in the first round against Fernandez. Here at Wimbledon, Barbora won her first round match against Kudermetova in three tight sets. In the second round, Krejcikova defeated Volynets in two tiebreaks. After that, in the third round, Bouzas Maneiro retired mid-match against Krejcikova. Barbora spent a lot of time in her first two matches here in London, so it is important that she was over within an hour in her third round match. Her fourth round match against Collins was one of her best matches of this season. Krejcikova won that match in straight sets. Last year at Wimbledon, Krejcikova lost in the second round against Andreeva.
