Jelena Ostapenko vs  Laura Siegemund prediction

Jelena Ostapenko’s Rome rollercoaster began in typically streaky fashion as she roared back to beat Rebecca Sramkova 1-6 6-4 6-3.

The Latvian is a huge threat in any draw once she’s got her Mojo flowing and she appeared to find it just in time to avoid an early exit in the Eternal City.

Indeed, former French Open winner Ostapenko’s confidence is high at present following her title in Stuttgart and she should have too much firepower for lucky loser Laura Siegemund in the third round. 

The veteran German took down Lucia Bronzetti in straight sets after being handed a lifeline following defeat in qualifying, but Ostapenko’s attacking strength is likely to mean her reprieve in the main draw is short-lived.

The players have met once before with Ostapenko winning in straight sets in Miami last year and the 17th seed should prevail again if she keeps the unforced errors under control.
