Unseeded Ostapenko powers her way to unlikely French Open championship
PARIS - Jelena Ostapenko's first love was ballroom dancing-but judging by the bruising way she demolished Simona Halep to win the French Open on Saturday, it might just as well have been boxing.
The 20-year-old Latvian muscled 54 winners past Halep, ranked No 4 in the world, who was so shell-shocked by her 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 loss that the Romanian said she felt "sick to the stomach".
