Halep is the only one that could save the wta at this point...

She's as mentally stable as most random WTA players...I'd be surprised if she hangs out in the top longer than a year or two before doing what every woman in tennis except for Serena does: rise to the top, fall far far back, get a good result again, be kicked out in a 1st round etc.

I remember  that Ana Ivanovic in 2008 had one forhend 105 mph. LOL

Not compatible to be honest. Ostapenko receives dead slow balls, which she can bash freely, while the men receive equally hard balls and have to hit the forhends from difficult positions.

I was talking about this specific tourney.  Halep finally winning would make her story and journey a good lifeline for the Wta, while Ostapenko would be a nightmare.
