The Ukrainian tennis player defeated the US Open 2021 champion in New Zealand in a difficult confrontation.
The blind draw was merciless for Elina Svitolina at the tennis tournament in Auckland, New Zealand. We remind you that the day before the Ukrainian tennis player met the former first racket of the world.
And now Elina’s opponent is the champion of the US Open 2021. Let’s remember that our athlete won, but he won in a very difficult confrontation.
In the first game, Svitolina lost 1:5, but managed to win 5 games in a row. The game went to a tiebreak after winning the 12th game from Raducanu, where the Ukrainian lost.
In the second set, our athlete led twice with a break, but lost his advantage. Svitolina had to save two hidden match points in the 8th game. Because of this, the second game also went to a tiebreaker, which Elina took with a score of 7:3, although she lost 1:3.
And only in the third game the tired British woman stopped fighting, losing 1:6. In the quarterfinals of the competition in Auckland, Elina will play against the representative of the Czech Republic, Maria Bouzkova.
