Marketa VONDROUSHOVA: “Svitolina is a superwoman”

Czech tennis player Marketa Vondrousova expressed her opinion on the current situation of Elina Svitolina, who will face her in the semi-finals of Wimbledon 2023.

“What he’s done is incredible. He got a wild card and is now in the semi-finals. Unbelievable. I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve had a baby. He’s doing great things. Yes, he is a fighter and plays very well. I think we see that we can handle a child as well. This is great. What he’s done is incredible to me. He’s great at tennis. I think she’s a superwoman,” Vondrousova said.

Recall that earlier Vondrousova commented on her results at the current Wimbledon.
