<font color=brown>@ <b>Graveller</b>:</font>
 
I did pick her to win in 3 though it's not over yet. In any event, her 2nd set against Vee at W was also stellar but we know who won that.

These 3 setters wreak of 'I've got nothing to lose so why not just go for it'.

Love me some Oyster. ... the girl is crazy. .. I got to find full version of this match. Not the stupid 2-minute highlight.

Ostapenko goes out there to win matches.. not to sit around and wait for errors..
And the think is, when in tight situation, she takes off the power to stay in the rally, wait for a nice one and really goes for it with all her power. No prisoner. :)

She needs to win these matches from the front to prove anything other than a good 'I've got nothing to lose' player.
