A week on and the 26-year-old Latvian is into the quarter finals of a Grand Slam for the first time, thanks to a 6-4, 7-5 victory over 13th seed Johanna Konta of Britain. The photo oversight was corrected by tournament organisers, but they can be slightly forgiven because until the start of last year, Sevastova was officially a former player. “Now I have a photo,” said Sevastova, who next plays the two-time former runner-up, Caroline Wozniacki. Now, she is back in the limelight, the first Latvian woman to reach the quarter finals of a Grand Slam since 1994. “I didn't expect to be here at this point of my life after retiring.” With a quarter-final to look forward to, Sevastova said she was“playing better in my second career”.
