Elina – UNITED24 Fundraising Platform Ambassador
Ukrainian tennis player Elina Svitolina commented on her return to the court. Svitolina also spoke separately about the work of the charitable foundation and cooperation with UNITED24.
“I have not had cases where the interlocutor showed some kind of support towards Russia or Belarus. I know that some of my acquaintances have come across such a position, in general in the world, not only athletes, they say, Belarusians and Russians should play that “sport is out of politics”. These are already comments that are outdated and they have clear and understandable explanations for which they no longer have arguments.
“I have not had such situations, everyone knows my clear position. If they want to say something to me, I am ready to answer. Ukraine’s support is very good. I see this in my foundation, in UNITED24, we have the opportunity to hold some kind of events, to raise funds. As soon as I returned, we immediately held a charity match between professionals and amateurs with the help of a tournament in Charleston. So we do these small events that can help in raising money.”
“Yes, the “frozen rating” was in Rome, then at Roland Garros, and the next one will be in Montreal, Cincinnati and the US Open. All other tournaments will be wild card. The organizers of all the tournaments that I wanted to get into, they provided me with them. I am very grateful that they are interested in me participating in their competitions, it is very cool.”
“Definitely confirmed the wild card in ‘s-Hertogenbosch on grass. There are still a couple of tournaments, they do not want to announce yet. These are tournaments before Wimbledon and after Wimbledon, where I will play. I am very happy that the tournaments give me this opportunity to play and it means that I can still use my SR after New York.”
Svitolina is the Ambassador of the UNITED24 platform. The tennis player organized a number of events in support of Ukraine around the world. It was reported that as part of their work at UNITED24, Svitolina and film director Michel Azanavicius took under their patronage the construction of two houses in Irpin.
In the WTA ranking, Elina is in 508th position. Now Svitolina is playing at the WTA 250 tournament in Strasbourg, France, where she reached the semifinals.
