“Very brave of him.” Ukrainian Svitolina congratulated Russian tennis player Kasatkina
When Svitolina went to the tower judge, she gave Blinkova a thumbs up. Probably, the Ukrainian tennis player appreciated the excellent game of her opponent.
The match lasted 2 hours and 17 minutes. The fight ended with the score 6:2, 2:6, 5:7. In the final set, Elina took the lead three times with a break, but Anna bounced back twice. Blinkova was able to recover even with the score 5:6, but did not convert a break point. From the third match point, Svitolina led the way to victory.
In the 1/8 finals of the tournament, Svitolina will meet another Russian Daria Kasatkina.
