Svitolina started the US Open with a solid victory

Ukraine's first racket Elina Svitolina (No. 26 WTA) successfully overcame the first round of the US Open tennis championship with a prize fund of 65 million dollars. The 28-year-old Odesa native defeated Anna-Lena Friedsam (#90 WTA) from Germany 6:3, 6:1  at the start of the US Open.

Our compatriot demonstrated excellent quality of play, giving her opponent only 4 games. It took Elina exactly one hour to deal with the German.
