Elina Svitolina is enjoying herself on her 24th birthday. The Ukrainian tennis star is having a fantastic year on the WTA Tour.
A big happy birthday from the tennis world to Ukrainian tennis star Elina Svitolina. The young Ukrainian turns 24-years-old on September 12th and is enjoying herself. Posting to social media on her birthday, Svitolina shared a picture of her eating cake at sunrise. Having a good time on her birthday is indeed well-deserved this year.
Following action at the 2018 US Open, Svitolina is the world number six in women’s singles tennis. She moves up one position in the singles rankings after a strong performance there.
At Flushing Meadows, the Ukrainian tennis star reached the fourth round of play for just the second time in her young career. The previous fourth round run came last year. While Svitolina had broken out and made headlines several times before 2017, it was last year that she truly broke onto the scene in women’s singles tennis. Strong performances at the final three of the four grand slams put her into the spotlight and she has maintained her play ever since.
Happy Birthday Elina Svitolina! The Ukrainian tennis star turns 24-years-old and continues to see success on the 2018 WTA Tour.
Not only is Elina Svitolina moving up in the singles rankings, but she is also holding onto a spot in the Porsche Race to Singapore. Currently sitting in the number six position, she is fighting for a place in the WTA Finals amongst a tough group of players. The likes of Caroline Wozniacki and Sloane Stephens, among others, are all vying for a place in Singapore. In 2017, Svitolina reached as high as the world number three ranking on the WTA Tour and that could happen again in the very near future. Check back to see how she finishes out her year.
