Jelena Ostapenko explained how she chooses her controversial outfits

Recently, Ostapenko gave an interview in which she described the process that takes place every time she chooses what to wear on the tennis court.

“Of course I choose the colors and the way I dress. I talk to the girl in charge and we collaborate. Naturally I don’t want to wear something I don’t like. It seems very easy, but when you go through all the steps, my God!

First you have to choose the prints and shapes, then the material. Colors come last. The very light ones are my favorite. Candy pink, straw yellow and neon green. But I also like blue”Ostapenko said, according to American media.
