Elena Svitolina is deeply attached to Ukraine, her country of birth. The 30-year-old is from the Odessa region and is one of the great players on the women’s circuit.

But in recent days, the Ukrainian has reached another milestone. She went to Kharkiv to meet soldiers who are directly involved in this war. In photos revealed on social networks, we see her holding a rocket launcher and chatting with soldiers. “Kharkiv is the city that made me feel at home when I started my professional career at 12 years old. The city that continues to give me warmth and protection during this war. If you ask me, where is I find the motivation to fight on the courts: this is my country, my people, my Kharkiv and our heroes”wrote the player on Instagram.
