Svitolina returns to Linz: Tennis star promises spectacular show!
Linz, Österreich - Elina Svitolina, the former number three in the tennis world, celebrates a spectacular comeback! From January 26th to February 2, she will compete in the 20th Upper Austria Ladies in Linz, her second appearance at the only WTA tournament in Austria since 2013. The 30-year-old Ukrainian, who is married to the French professional Gael Monfils, currently occupies 23rd place in the WTA-Ranking and has already collected impressive 17 titles on the tour. After the tournament winner of 2023, Anastasia Potapova, Svitolina is the second top player who has promised her participation for this important event, like Laola1 reported.
Svitolina, who returned to the WTA tour in April 2023 after only five months of the maternity break, played an impressive season. She was recently recognized as a "comeback player of the year" after winning the WTA trophy in Strasbourg and came wide at the Grand Slam tournaments in Wimbledon and the French Open. In her currently strong form, she was just lost in the final of Auckland of the former Linz winner "Coco" Gauff, such as Ladies Linz . Svitolina was enthusiastic about the return to Linz: "I love to play in front of the Austrian fans and am very excited to experience the event after the upgrade to the WTA 500 status," she said.
