Just as the decision of Victoria Azarenka, former world No. 1 and current No. 16 in the WTA ranking, to “take a break” from tennis was surprising, Elina Svitolina followed the same path.
The difficulties in concentrating on professional activity due to what is happening in his country surely influenced his decision, although the main thing is the physical discomfort that he has been dragging on for weeks.
In fact, in the official statement of the Ukrainian tennis player released on her social networks, she assures that the attitude of her compatriots prompted her to try to compete in Indian Wells and Miami, but that she realized that she is not in a position to continue.
The number 20 in the world ranking will miss an important elimination of the Billie Jean King Cup as well as some tournaments of the tour on clay that will start in a few more days in Europe.
