Latvian Number 1 and current WTA World Number 16, Jelena Ostapenko<\/b>, has confirmed that she will take part in the Tallinn Open WTA 250 tennis tournament at the end of September. <\/b>Estonian players Anett Kontaveit<\/strong> (WTA World Number 2) and Kaia Kanepi<\/strong> (WTA World Number 31) have also confirmed their participation in the tournament.<\/p>\n “I have always enjoyed playing in front of Latvian fans. Unfortunately, there is no Billie Jean King Cup or WTA events in my home country this year. So, I have decided to participate in the WTA 250 tournament in Tallinn. Looking forward to competing against the best Estonian players as well as many other good athletes, so I invite all Latvian fans to Tallinn at the end of September to enjoy high-level tennis,” said Jelena Ostapenko. <\/p>\n Jelena Ostapenko is currently the WTA World Number 16. In 2017, she won the French Open singles title, becoming the first Latvian tennis player to win a Grand Slam singles title and the first unseeded tennis player since 1933 to win a Grand Slam title. Ostapenko’s highest position in the WTA World Rankings was 5th<\/sup>, back in 2018.<\/p>\n “We are very pleased that Jelena Ostapenko has agreed to take part in the Tallinn Open tournament. Jelena is a world-class player and the winner of a Grand Slam tournament. She also represents the neighbouring country, which will undoubtedly create a great symbiosis and provide the Latvian public with the opportunity to visit our tournament to see the Latvian tennis star play,” said Allar Hint<\/strong>, director of the Tallinn Open WTA 250 tournament.<\/p>\n Estonian players Anett Kontaveit (WTA World Number 2) and Kaia Kanepi (WTA World Number 31) have already publicly confirmed their participation in the tournament. Jelena Mal\u00f5gina<\/strong> (WTA 332), who won the singles at the Estonian Tennis Championship earlier this year, has also been sent an invitation to the tournament.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Latvian Number 1 and current WTA World Number 16, Jelena Ostapenko, has confirmed that she will take part in … Read more<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":108623,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[14885,15385,15844,15845,15846,309,14881,14882],"class_list":["post-108622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-leisure","tag-tennis","tag-tennis-tournament-2","tag-jelena-ostapenko","tag-tallinn-open-wta-250","tag-tallinn-open","tag-tallinn","tag-anett-kontaveit","tag-kaia-kanepi"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108622","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=108622"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108622\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":108629,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108622\/revisions\/108629"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/108623"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=108622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=108622"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=108622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
