Elina could not hold back her tears as she spoke about the horrific Russian attacks on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities in a post-match interview.
"Today was a very hard day for Ukrainian people… It was hard to focus on the match. Since morning it has been hard to read the news, but I’m glad I was able to play and win today."

Elina Svitolina (Ukraine) – Xinyu Wang (China) 6-2, 6-1
In the quarter-finals, Elina will face Kazakhstan's Russian-born player Elena Rybakina. Interestingly, it was she who knocked Svitolina out of the round of 16 at the French Open.
This is the second year in a row that Svitolina, the most successful Ukrainian tennis player in history, has reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals. Last year she defeated world No. 1 seed Iga Świątek at this stage, only to be beaten by the ultimate winner, Markéta Vondroušová, in the semi-final.
