Latvia vs Belgium Match Preview and Player Analysis for Wimbledon 2021

July 5, 2023 by world today news

(Full text added.)

The game on the 17th court could start at about 15 Latvian time.

The match between Latvia and Belgium was supposed to take place already on Tuesday, but this match and several others were postponed to Wednesday due to rain.

Ostapenko occupies the 17th position in the WTA ranking and was also placed in the tournament with this number, while Minnen is ranked 123rd and participated in the qualification.

The two athletes have not met in singles matches in WTA tournaments so far.

For the 26-year-old Ostapenko, this will be her eighth start at Wimbledon and her best achievement is the semifinals in 2018, but last year she reached the fourth round. Meanwhile, 25-year-old Minnen has competed in the Wimbledon tournament for the past two years, reaching the second round last year.

Ostapenko triumphed at the WTA 250 in Birmingham for her first title of the season, before withdrawing in the quarter-finals of the WTA 500 at Eastbourne due to health problems. She reached the quarterfinals in the first “Grand Slam” tournament of the season in Australia, but did not make it past the second round at the French Open.

On the other hand, last week Minnena defeated Semenistai (WTA 208) 6-2, 6-3 in the decisive third round of the qualification, preventing the Latvian tennis player from making her debut in the main “Grand Slam” tournaments.

This season, the Belgian reached the main tournament for the first time in the “Grand Slam” tournaments and mostly played in the ITF qualifiers, however, she also managed to fight to the finals in the “WTA 125” series tournament in France, where she lost to former “US Open” winner Sloane Stevens from the USA in the decisive match.

Ostapenko has won 26 out of 39 matches this season, while the Belgian tennis player has a record of 37-12.

In the second round, the winner will face Romanian Sorana Kirstea (WTA 37th) or German Tatjana Marija (WTA 62nd), whom the Latvian first racket lost in last year’s round of 16.

The third “Grand Slam” tournament of the season will take place until July 16.

ABSOLUTE DREAM: “I’ve met Harry Styles several times, and he is so nice and considerate. He actually put off going out with his team just to sit and talk to my 15-year-old daughter and me. I’m sure he was exhausted, but he seemed to enjoy relaxing and chatting with us. My daughter will most likely live on that memory for years to come!”

ABSOLUTE DREAM: “I met Lorne Michaels when I worked at a 5-star restaurant. Everyone who worked with me knew I’d been a fan of SNL since I came out of the womb, so when I picked up the phone to make the reservation and spoke with his assistant, I told them I was Lorne’s biggest fan. When he arrived with his wife and son (who went to a local boarding school), they were so kind, and he said, ‘Oh, I heard you’re my biggest fan, and that’s amazing because I don’t have fans — the cast always has fans!’ I almost died. I gave them my favorite table, which they were thrilled with, and when he got up to leave, he left me an envelope with a pretty sweet bonus tip inside. I wasn’t usually tipped doing my work, so it wasn’t necessary, but it was so thoughtful and appreciated. All three were true gems. You’d never know he was famous or rich at all.”

ABSOLUTE DREAM: “I met Matthew Gray Gubler after he did a talk years ago at my college! Only the first 100 people who got tickets were supposed to be able to do a meet and greet. He said ‘rules were made to be broken’ and that he would stay and meet with everyone until they kicked him out. Not only was he incredibly sweet to me (literally introduced himself…so humble and posed for a goofy pic), but he seemed so genuinely kind to everyone there. Just amazing energy all around.”

ABSOLUTE DREAM: “A friend and I visited my boyfriend while he was doing security at a jazz festival in Malibu. He told us Adam Sandler and his family had been there all day and tons of people took pictures with him. We ran back to the car to grab the digital camera, looked up, and saw Adam, his pregnant wife Jackie, and their toddler leaving. We went up to them. Adam was clearly done for the day, but his wife said, ‘Honey, let me hold [toddler’s name] and you can take a picture.’ We handed him the camera and he took a selfie with us. Still have that picture on my fridge. Love the Sandman!”

TOTAL NIGHTMARE: “My little cousin played one of Rob Schneider’s kids in 50 First Dates. Rob was stuck-up, never got to know the children or their parents, and always went straight to his dressing room. I’m an introvert, so I like my alone time to recharge, but apparently the vibes he was giving off were that he couldn’t be bothered to care about anyone else there. Also, the little girl in the movie was apparently a spoiled brat who threw tantrums and made them have to redo so many takes. I can see why Rob maybe didn’t want to play with her, but the other kids were great!”

ABSOLUTE DREAM: “My husband met Rihanna years ago and said she was super nice. He was working as a ground handler at an airport and was setting up something on the ramp for her private plane. She came out, approached him, asked him about his job, and they chatted for a few minutes. Not sure if she was killing time until the gate opened, or if she went out of her way to talk to him for the heck of it, but he had nothing but nice things to say about her.”

ABSOLUTE DREAM: “I met Jerry Springer while bartending almost 20 years ago. He was thinking of getting back into politics and had a meeting in our private dining room on the second floor. It was happy hour and the bar was packed. Someone spotted him and started chanting, ‘JERRY, JERRY,’ while he was about to walk up the stairs. He then came to the bar, ordered a $2 beer, walked through the entire bar, shook hands, and took pictures. When he finished the loop, he set the full beer on the bar and handed me $40. Regardless of his show, I will always think of him as a class act.”

ABSOLUTE DREAM: “My story is that I was actually horrible to a celebrity. In the ’70s, I was obsessed with Donny and Marie. They were playing at our state fair that year. My dad tried to get tickets, but it was sold out. He took us to the fair anyway. A few times we could hear the music, which infuriated me at 7 years old. When we were leaving, my dad had to stop the car because there was a big crowd of people. As they cleared to let us through, two people popped their heads in the car window to apologize. It was Donny and Marie. I refused to believe it was really them, and I told Marie, ‘You’re not Marie. She’s a lot prettier than you.’ My family was horrified.”
“Marie laughed it off. Then, she smiled that famous smile and I said, ‘It IS you! You are the prettiest woman in the world.’ She said, ‘Well that makes up for your first comment.’ They apologized again for the crowd blocking the road, got on their tour bus, and left. I got grounded for two weeks. Sorry, Marie.”

ABSOLUTE DREAM: “Hands down nicest celebrity I’ve ever met was Taylor Swift. I met her at a concert as part of her security at the Houston shows. She was polite and introduced herself to everyone. She was obviously very busy, but she seemed interested in what I had to say and signed an album cover for my son.”

I told him how jealous my Harry Potter-obsessed sister (who was working that day) was going to be, and he told me to tell her he sent his regards! It totally made her day at work when I texted her about it after!”

—bravesgirl21

“Bill Nye was a guest judge on a reality show I was on back in 2014. He was a jerk and made some very sexist comments to me about my engineering skills.”
—k80bot
“Bill Nye. I met him along with Andy Weir while working at JPL around the time the movie The Martian came out. Both were two of the most arrogant people I’ve ever encountered. The actual astronauts, on the other hand, including ones who serviced Hubble, were as down to earth as could be.”

ABSOLUTE DREAM: “When I was in college in Boston, I was making a late-night Taco Bell run. As I was walking in, this white limo pulled up in front. I went inside and placed my order, and a guy in a white jumpsuit with a white bandana tied around his head came in. There weren’t that many people in the restaurant, but he stopped and signed autographs and was chatting everyone up when I left. It wasn’t until a few years later that I realized that person was Steven Tyler. This was in the late ’80s before Aerosmith had that string of hits.”

ABSOLUTE DREAM: “The most genuine interaction I’ve ever had with a celeb was with Bert Kreischer. I saw a show (during which he mentioned his grandma was in the hospital). Then, he told the audience he would be going to the bar next door after the show if anyone wanted a picture. When he arrived at the bar, he waded through CROWDS of people and made sure everyone who wanted to was able to get a pic or a moment with him. I stayed at the bar for a drink until he was on his way out (by this time the crowd had dispersed). I called out as he passed, ‘Hey, I didn’t get a chance to say it before, but I hope your grandma does well.’ He stopped, turned around, and had a very genuine conversation with me.”
“He thanked me for the kind thoughts and talked about his family and how he was dealing with it all. His entourage was subtly trying to get him to leave, but he kept waving them off because we were both talking about our grandmas. It was a very real moment with someone I didn’t expect to have that with. I’ll always talk him up.”

ABSOLUTE DREAM: “Jennifer Lopez. I went to where they were filming Air last year (I live in LA) because I wanted to meet Ben Affleck. I met Matt Damon as he wrapped before he left. He was a SUPER nice guy. I waited for Ben as his Escalade pulled up, but I DID NOT expect JLO to get out. She got out right next to me. She was only with her driver and he didn’t tell me to move or anything, so when she got out, I was like ‘Jen! Can I get a picture?’ and she said sure. We talked about Selena because I’m Latina and she’s super important to me, and the movie means so much to me. She was SOO nice and sweet. She didn’t give any vibes that I was annoying her or that she had to Go. We also spoke in Spanish. We took our picture and then she went inside to get Ben. When they got out, Ben was NOT HAPPY (I don’t blame him. He was acting and directing), so I just stepped aside.”

ABSOLUTE DREAM: “In 2004, I met Tony Curtis. He exuded ‘old Hollywood.’ He made his way around the room, speaking to each person, and when he approached me, he extended his hand and held my hand through the entire conversation. He focused on our conversation as if there was no one else in the room. As we said goodbye (he was still holding my hand), he raised my hand to his lips and kissed it. He was dressed impeccably and was in fine form. I have had many celebrity encounters, but nothing rises to the level of Tony Curtis. Absolutely the best celebrity encounter I’ve ever had.”

ABSOLUTE DREAM: “I went to college with Muhammad Ali’s twin daughters. He came with them for move-in day, and they arrived in a chauffeured Rolls Royce. He was gracious and took as many pictures and signed as many autographs as people wanted. I even have a picture where he is pretending to punch me. I told him that I grew up down the street from the house he had in Chicago before he donated it to the Nation of Islam. He asked me if they were good neighbors and laughed when I told him not really.”

ABSOLUTE DREAM: “Every time Dave Matthews plays at the venue across the street from our bookstore, people want to be working in the cafe because he randomly shows up for coffee the morning of his concert and gives the people waiting on him free tickets.”
—collinna

“Dave Matthews is a good one. I went to his show and finessed my way backstage. He seemed a bit tired while taking pictures with other fans, but was still kind. When it was my turn, I decided to share my experience with his music. We huddled together side by side for a picture and I leaned into his ear and whispered, “I lost my virginity to ‘Crash into Me.’ Instant game changer. Dave perked right up and hugged me and smiled. It was noticeable to some friends who were also taking pictures with them. They begged me all the way home to share what I whispered to Dave. I never did. It’s our secret — just me, Dave, and that poor unskilled guy I lost my innocence to!”

ABSOLUTE DREAM: “When I was young, I went to an Olivia Newton-John concert. I grew up watching Grease on repeat and had always loved her. At the concert, me and another young girl were invited on stage to give her flowers and introduce ourselves. On stage, l asked to get her autograph and she told me she would after the show. Post-concert, I waited with my family to get an autograph and she invited me and my dad into her fitting room and no one else. Once back there, I was so starstruck and amazed that she remembered my name! She was so kind and took pictures with me and my dad, signed a photo, gave me the set list, and wrapped it up by giving me a hug and kiss on the cheek. She spent probably an hour with us just hanging out in her room and chatting. To this day, it’s one of my most cherished memories.”
