The defending champion overcame a shaky start to defeat Magdalena Frech in three sets and continues her preparation for the Australian Open.

Jelena Ostapenko defeated Poland’s Magdalena Frech 4-6, 6-1, 6-1 in the opening round of the 2025 Adelaide International, recovering from a slow start with a dominant performance in the last two sets.
Ostapenko, ranked 17th in the world, will face Madison Keys in the Round of 16 after Keys secured a decisive victory over Beatriz Haddad Maia.
The Latvian player, known for her aggressive style and controversial moments on and off the court, aims to defend her Adelaide title as part of her Australian Open preparations.
Recent fan discussions have drawn comparisons between Ostapenko and Danielle Collins, with many praising Ostapenko’s authenticity despite her polarizing reputation.
Collins, embroiled in ongoing drama with Iga Swiatek following a cold handshake at the United Cup, has faced criticism for her behavior, further fueling debates about sportsmanship in tennis.
