Ukraine’s top ace, Elina Svitolina, who has been gathering quite a lot of fame for her impressive run of form this year at the Wimbledon Championships, has finally been beaten by another great revelation. Czech Republic player Marketa Vondrousova has literally brought back her 2019 run of form when she was winning matches for fun and has already put one hand on the golden trophy.
However, the big news will be around Elina, who was going through so much leading up to the tournament and had been away from tennis for a long time due to Russia’s attack on her country. She also had to commit to her motherly duties when she gave birth to her child way back in October. Now, just after a couple of months, it is nothing short of an appreciation of what the Ukrainian has done in this competition.
Twitter and several social media outlets are going wild in support of Marketa, speaking about how happy and delighted they are to see a Ukrainian not lift the trophy. Throughout the tournament, Svitolina talked about how the duties and pressure of the country are on her shoulders and how she wants to win the silverware to give her countrymen something to be happy about. But now her loss has backfired on her, with tennis fanatics completely buzzing with her defeat.
What ignited Svitolina’s run of form this Wimbleodn?
Elina’s work at this year’s Wimbledon is no short of an ovation, and what she has done by beating the likes of Venus Williams, Victoria Azarenka, and tournament favorite Iga Swiatek simply states the fire in her eyes.
That’s not all; the supermom also opened up about how she was suffering from mental health issues due to her country’s territories being occupied by Russia. She even stood up against it by not shaking hands with any Russian or Belarussian players.
Sharing a wide spectrum of reactions online, here’s what fans have to say:
That fire within herself to commit to something has really paid off, and even though she wasn’t able to finally get the job done, the message has been clearly delivered across the world. She got emotional during the post-match conference after her loss, stating how people supported her during her fight throughout the entire competition.
