Elina Mykhaylivna Svitolina (Ukrainian: Еліна Михайлівна Світоліна, pronounced [ˈɛlʲinɑ switɔˈlʲinɑ]; born 12 September 1994) is a Ukrainian professional tennis player. As of 9 January 2017, she is ranked at a career high of 13, making her the highest-ranked Ukrainian player.
Svitolina has won five WTA titles. She won her first title at the 2013 Baku Cup and successfully defended it in 2014. She then earned her first Top 10 career victory when she defeated Petra Kvitová in the round of 16 in Cincinnati. In 2015, she made her first Grand Slam quarterfinal at the French Open where she lost to Ana Ivanovic. That same year, she also won her third WTA title in Marrakech. Her fourth WTA trophy came in early 2016 as she beat Eugenie Bouchard in the final at the 2016 Malaysian Open. In 2017, she won her fifth title as she beat Peng Shuai in the finals of Taiwan Open.
Svitolina has said that she thinks of herself as an offensive baseliner, but she has a complete baseline game. Her groundstrokes are very consistent and are hit with moderate-to-big power. Her backhand is probably her stronger side, especially with her backhand down the line, but both of her groundstrokes penetrate the court well. Her movement around the court is very good and she is capable of hitting very accurate shots on the run.
Svitolina's serve is consistent but isn't exceptionally fast. She has recently been working on improving her serve and it is now starting to improve. Svitolina's weakness is probably her reflexes, as she has been known to struggle with her reflexes at the net.
