Jelena Ostapenko, who was unseeded going into Saturday’s Women’s French Open final, wasn’t supposed to beat No. 3 overall ranked Simona Halep. But she pulled off the impossible, earning her first career title in the process.
The win was the first Grand Slam victory in Ostapenko’s career.
Ostapenko didn’t start well, losing the first set 4-6 and was behind 0-3 to Halep in the second. But the 20-year-old rallied, and won the final two sets 6-4 and 6-3.
When pulling off the upset, Ostapenko was wearing the Adidas by Stella McCartney Barricade 2017 in the blaze orange, running white and infrared colorway.
The performance tennis shoes are available now via adidas.com on sale for $110 (normally $130).
