Svitolina defeated Avanesyan

Ukraine's second ranked player Elina Svitolina had a successful start at the Abierto GNP Seguros 2024 tournament with a prize pool of $922,000 in Monterrey, Mexico. In the 1/8 finals, our compatriot defeated Elina Avanesyan, who only a few weeks ago changed her Russian sports citizenship to Armenian.

It took 75 minutes and two games for the Odessan to win - 6:4, 6:3. During this time, Elina served twice, realized four out of nine breakpoints, and made four double faults.

Immediately after the winning draw, Svitolina refused to shake hands with the 21-year-old native of Pyatigorsk. Thus, the Ukrainian continues to boycott the representatives of the aggressor country who keep silent about the war and hide under false flags.

In the quarterfinals, our tennis player will play Linda Nosková from the Czech Republic, who is ranked 35th in the world rankings. The girls have met on the court only once - at the Australian Open 2024, Svitolina refused to continue the match due to injury with the score 0:3 in the first set.
