The first racket of Ukraine became the only one of our representatives who will fight for the ticket to the quarterfinals.
Elina Svitolina reached the 1/8 finals of the prestigious clay tournament of the WTA 1000 series in Rome. This happened after the Ukrainian’s easy victory over the Russian Anna Kalinskaya in two sets.
Let’s add that after the start of the mass invasion, Svitolina won all seven matches out of seven played with the representatives of the terrorist country, now playing in “neutral” status.
Svitolina remained Ukraine’s lone representative at the tournament, as other domestic tennis players had already sheathed their rackets.
Dayana Yastremskaya lost to Belarusian Arina Sabalenka in the third round match. In this regard, Angelina Kalinina could not handle the eighth racket of the world, Maria Sakkari from Greece.
Dayana Yastremskaya (Ukraine) – Arina Sabalenko (Belarus) – 4:6, 2:6
Angelina Kalinina (Ukraine) – Maria Sakkari (Greece) – 6:7(4), 0:6
