I expect she'll fired up given her 1st round exit from Madrid and she'll certainly want some match time ahead of RG

Love listening to the on-court coaching...when its in English! Matic just brought on her female coach..& gave her hell..shes' getting murdered by Svitolina. Went like this: Coach: U must make more of the opportunities.
MARTIC: What opportunities??!!!...what match are you watching?!!! Coach...lamely.. well..those that are there.
MARTIC: She's murdering me out there!!! Coach retires looking crestfallen. I think male coaches are different class for the women.. they are always sooo positive...give good advice..which often is immediately translated into positive action. Also body language. You can always tell how close they are:..Close: A couple of slaps on the outer thigh ..& a c'mon..c'mon as they depart. Not close: A hand slap..or nothing. Love it!! (BTW for anyone who is PC...i am defo NOT!! (Coaches not allowed on in GS..but watch Pat Cash with Coco sometime..he's brilliant with her.)

Y, i traded out and took a small loss after she broke again 1st game of 2nd set, could see by then it was going only one way - and fast!
6mins into Ostapenkos 3rd rd match and shes lost her opening serve and 2nd game
Her odds drifted nearly as much as they would have shortened had she won the whole match

Now Sharapova serves for the match and throws away a 5-3 lead in the final set to go from 1.08 to 2.0+ in a matter of minutes - unreal match!
