Elina Svitolina expresses gratitude to Ukrainian people for support after Wimbledon

Posted : 13 July 2023
Following her impressive run at Wimbledon, Elina Svitolina expressed heartfelt gratitude to the people of Ukraine for their incredible support. Despite falling short in the semi-finals, Svitolina's remarkable journey saw her defeat notable players like Venus Williams, Elise Mertens, Sofia Kenin, Victoria Azarenka, and world No. 1 Iga Swiatek.

It's worth noting that she entered the tournament as a wild card after returning to tennis just three months ago following a maternity leave period, which caused her ranking to drop to No. 76.
 
Svitolina's accomplishments are even more extraordinary considering the challenging circumstances in her native Ukraine due to the ongoing conflict. However, her dream of securing a maiden Grand Slam title was brought to an end by Marketa Vondrousova, who defeated her in straight sets on Thursday.
 
Reflecting on her journey, Svitolina acknowledged the overwhelming support she received from her home country during the Championships. She expressed her gratitude for the numerous messages she received and was amazed by the unwavering support of the Ukrainian people.
 
Svitolina also expressed hope that her Wimbledon run, which received increased coverage in Ukraine, would lead to greater accessibility and opportunities for the younger generation.

She emphasized the importance of children watching tennis and other sports as a means of broadening their horizons, setting dreams and goals, and learning from great champions. Svitolina recounted her own experiences of watching matches featuring legendary players and envisioning herself competing in major stadiums.
 
Furthermore, Svitolina shared her happiness that the match was broadcast live in Ukraine, a development that took several years to materialize.

She mentioned her collaboration with her foundation to provide more opportunities for Ukrainian people, particularly children, to engage with and be inspired by tennis and other sports. She expressed her satisfaction with this progress and the potential it holds for future generations.
