Kiev. Ukraine. Ukraine Gate – February 02, 2021 – Sport
The leading tennis player of Ukraine Elina Svitovilina won the first tournament victory in the 2021 season.
At the competitions in Melbourne, which precede the Australian Open, our compatriot easily defeated the German Andrea Petkovic – 6: 1, 6: 4.
“It was exciting. I knew that (Petkovich – ed.) Had already won the match here, so I understood that she would come and be really ready immediately, for the game. I think a few matches in Abu Dhabi helped me get straight into the match and I started well. I hit the ball well and moved well. In the end, I played quite solidly throughout the match, and I am satisfied with the victory in two sets, ”Svitolina said.
