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?

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.

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.

1) Before posting in this thread I must make a disclaimer. I am not an Ostapenko fan. I don't like her game and at times her sportsmanship can be very trying as well. That's just personal taste. I tend to prefer craftier games with more off pace hitting. That said, in some ways I have warmed to her over the years. She is a great shotmaker, no question about it, and the way she carries herself on court is at the very least....amusing. She makes a great panto villain no question about it.
2) I absolutely abhor fat shaming women. No woman should ever be fat shamed, indeed any sort of insulting discussions pertaining to a woman's appearance are quite simply not acceptable in my view.
3) In any circumstances, Jelena Ostapenko can not be considered fat anyway. She is very healthy and fit and wouldn't be able to play tennis at such a high level if she wasn't. She might be large for a tennis player, I acknowledge, but players all have different sizes and weights and shapes in which they are able to compete at an optimum level. Perhaps for Jelena she feels she is able to best play at her optimum level when she has a little more weight on her. She wouldn't be the 1st player to feel this way.
4) It would be utterly hypocritical of me to criticise anyone for loving and enjoying such yummy food as displayed in the photo above. If this is the kind of food Jelena Ostapenko cooks and eats herself all I can say is I would be very delighted should she ever invite me to a meal she has cooked.

& 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 .

That they lack her delusional confidence?
Pinko suffers from a Jesus Complex, much like Djokovic, they both derive their strength from megalomania and extreme narcissism.
The difference is Djokovic is breaking records with this delusion, Pinko is merely a solid top 30 player.

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.
You write similar shit in every thread that has something to do with Ostapenko's appearance. You sound dumb and childish.

This so much. The cut on her dresses is horrible - the cinch is too high and is one of those relaxed-fit elastic thing-ies. Then the dresses fabric is of the loose-fitting type that fall down over your shoulders like a shopping bag. The overall result is a dress that cuts her in half, makes her body shape like a box and her hips look enormous. I can't remember if it was for the Middle East swing or the Sunshine Double, but she recently wore a dress with a better cut and she looks considerably smaller than with this one.
Her dresses cost something like 250 dollars in online shopping, btw. The more you know.

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.

I thought you were going to recount the story when she fell on her head from a height of 56 meters...

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
