Elina SVITOLINA: “I am sure that she will have many more titles in the future”
Ukrainian tennis player Elina Svitolina commented on the victory Ivoj Jovic In the semi-finals of the WTA 250 tough tournament in Auckland:
– Elina, you reached the finals, just like in 2024. In this tournament your strength was tested, you had to show character and this was especially felt today. Everything came together at the decisive moments. Is this the game you’re looking for?
– Yes definitely. It’s nice to win the match in straight sets. It was a very tough fight yesterday, and today too, especially in the first set. Iva played very well and I really had to fight, give it my all and try to find my level. I’m very happy that I was able to finish the match in two sets and save some energy for the final.
– Excellent performance. And a few words about Iva: She is just starting her tour journey. What impressed you most in his game and what did you pay attention to in your first head-to-head match against such a young opponent?
– We trained together before the tournament, so I had a rough understanding of what to expect. But even then I was blown away by the way he hit the ball and how well he moved around the field. I’m sure he will have many more titles in the future.
Svitolina beat Jovic with scores of 7:6 (7:5) and 6:2. In the finale, Elina will meet Wang Xinyu.
