I don't mean it like an attack against her, nothing like that, so everyone chill, I am just curious. She used to be a slim pretty girl, did anything happen in her life? Her tennis is still good, but she looks like a freakin Bartoli.

How did Ostapenko become this big?
3 reading
Its okay to eat a lot of bread sticks, but Jelena, take one slice of pizza, not the whole pie
I don't know why but the bluntness of the title is hilarious 
.
I can imagine OP in front of Jelena asking her, very concerned : "Jelena, how did you become this fat ??"

Penko honestly doesn’t look big in person lol
Besides her weight is clearly not holding her back

Here's my dumb answer to this dumb question- by appearing fat on tv, she's misleading those scouting her.
I agree that Ostapenko is not actually "fat". But it's pretty obvious that she's not exactly disciplined about her food and training regimen. And yeah, the cut of her clothes aren't flattering, either.
Take Iga's ON kits, for example. She looks a good deal more athletic in them than she did in Asics this year.

Her outfit in Rome is a bit more flattering than some of the others she has worn so far this year.
She’s not fat. 🙄 She might not have a svelte body type but her movement is still very good and I don’t think I’ve ever seen Jelena get tired in a match before.
There's nothing like a case of beer and few bags of chips after a good practice session!
Let her enjoy her meals, and her snacks.

& TV adds pounds to their physique. Like I thought Petra Martic looked slim on tv but in person, she looked really really thin. Im just using Petra btw as an example coz I really like how she looks on tv .
She’s a little too big maybe, but I actually think it works for her. I’m the first to be critical of players with poor discipline that are completely unfit and thus affects their performance. However I can understand some of the benefits for her, as others have mentioned she has more weight to put behind the ball, and it doesn’t seem to affect her movement much. She also has great stamina and doesn’t seem to fizzle out in long matches, possibly due to her extra “reserves”. Like someone else said I think she might be doing a Bartoli.
This is so offensive! I guess you all did not research this topic beforehand:
When Jelena was just a little girl, she was invited to a Halloween party. Now, this would not seem unusual, but little Jelena was not a popular kid. She was very competitive and grunted very loudly, not only on the tennis court, but everywhere else. When she moved a checkers piece, when she rolled the Monopoly dice and even when she raised her hand in class to answer a question. So, to be invited to a party was a big deal!
But, oh, what to wear? Well, her mother dressed her as Ms. Potato Head and she won the costume contest at the party. It was the highlight of her life to that point and she swore that she would always look like Ms. Potato Head forever. So next time you look at her portly figure and wrinkle your nose, think of a young girl that won a costume contest and changed her life. Now you know the rest of the story.

Yeah. Love those fat shaming threads… it is always the big BUT.
no you are trying to be offensive, you have chosen the word with negative connotations
And you opened thread judging someone appearance someone who clearly does not have any issues regarding her weight
anyway she is not fat and even if she was that is none of our business

Either she has a medical condition, genetics or she eats more calories than what she loses from exercise. The former is the more unlikely but possible but if it's the latter which is the most likeliest then considering she is a professional tennis player she must eat a huge amount of food. I guess it could be a combination of two or three of those issues.
It’s really sad this kind of thread gets 4 pages of replies on the forum dedicated to women’s tennis. It is fat shaming and sexist. You could’ve easily pick a different, less offensive word to talk about her fitness.
I pretty sure, most of you people, mocking her figure, look worse than her in real life. Bleh.

They might be assholes but you're no different, you're just trying to hide it behind a facade but it seeps through from time to time - not only you just mocked other people in the same manner, you also showed you think the exact same think about Jelena.
