The start was excellent – in the quarterfinals, Ukraine won 2-0 in Spain, and Elina herself brought the team a second and decisive score thanks to the victory over Paulo Badosa.
The expectations before the confrontation with Italy in the semifinals were both small and large at the same time. It was clear that Ukrainians needed to win two single matches, as there was little chance of a paired duel. Initially, Kostyuk did his task at least, confidently understanding Elizabeth Kocheretto. Svitolin’s play and convincingly began her game and convincingly – 6: 4 and 4: 2 (A: 40). But meeting with Paolini could not do without drama, given the previous two eye matches of Elina and Jasmine this year. Paolini made Cambek, and Elina …
And Elina, apparently, is still responsible. Also damage to the thigh. Already during a paired match between Tandema Kostyuk / Kichenok and Paolini / Errani, who lost, there was simply no face on Elina. Too painfully, she perceived this defeat, too close to her heart.
The reason for the early completion of Svitolin season, first of all, called the desire to start feeling again, you need to heal and recharge. Given the experience of Elina, her contribution to Ukrainian tennis, the attitude to the national team and the desire to play – you can only wish her to believe in herself again as soon as possible. We will wait in 2026, legend!
