French Open: Unseeded Jelena Ostapenko tops Simona Halep for 1st title


3 Simona Halep 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 in an enthralling French Open final Saturday for the first title of her career. Ostapenko, ranked only 47th and just two days past her 20th birthday, became one of the most unlikely Grand Slam champions in tennis history. "I still can't believe I won," Ostapenko told the crowd at Court Philippe Chatrier. Ostapenko was playing in only her eighth Grand Slam tournament, never having been past the third round. A telling statistic: Of the 33 points Halep won in the first set, only one — yes, just one!
