MELBOURNE : Grand Slam success came to Jelena Ostapenko in a hurry when she hoisted the French Open trophy as an unseeded 20-year-old but the early career triumph soon became a burden.

"You became more popular in your country. Everybody is watching you. Of course, it's great, but I needed some time to get used to it."
