Latvian tennis star Jelena Ostapenko will take on 84th-ranked Colombian player Maria Camilla Osorio in the first round of the Women's Singles Tennis event at the Paris Olympics 2024.

Ostapenko is known for her aggressive demeanor and strong baseline play. Her powerful groundstrokes make her battle against Camila Osorio, known for her consistent and tactical game, very interesting.

Quality statistics reveal that over the last 12 months, Ostapenko has played against opponents with an average rank of 106.84, while Osorio has faced opponents with an average rank of 109.18. While the difference between their opposition is slight, this adds to their much-awaited encounter in the first round.

However, if the match goes into the deciding set, Ostapenko might have the upper hand, as she has won 69% of her deciding sets in the last year, compared to Osorio's 59%. This statistic can be vital when considering the under-pressure situation between the two players.

In terms of competition over the last year, the former Roland Garros champion has played most of her matches in the Masters series, winning 56%. Osorio has competed on the main tour, winning 66.87% of her matches. While Ostapenko has faced a higher quality of opposition, Osorio has performed better and more consistently, which makes their match-up one to keep an eye on.
