As the fight progressed, the American gained momentum and managed to win a comeback victory.
Ukrainian tennis player Elina Svitolina finished performing at US Open 2024In a worthy confrontation, the Ukrainian lost to the world’s third-ranked player, the American Coco Gauff.
Despite her underdog status, Elina played the first set extremely confidently and was able to achieve victory, making a break in the eighth game.
However, Gauff then stepped up and turned the game around. Svitolina could have taken the opponent’s serve at 2:2, but she took an unsuccessful risk, after which she lost the next game. The newfound confidence allowed Coco to finish the game in her favor with class.
The third set was already dictated by the American. She managed two break points, and the tired Svitolina could not do anything in response for a long time. At the same time, the Ukrainian fought desperately – she won back three match points at 2:5 and still made a break, but this was her last feat in the match.
Let us recall that earlier in the tournament Elina beat Argentine Maria Lourde Carle and her compatriot Angelina Kalinina. Seven Ukrainians started in the main draw of the major (a national record), but only Marta Kostyuk continues to perform in singles.
