(ANSA) – ROME, MARCH 29 – Tested in body and soul by the war in her country, Elina Svitolina has decided to take a break. The Ukrainian tennis player, number 20 in the ranking, eliminated at the Miami tournament announced on Instagram that between physical troubles and the pain of what is happening for a while she will not be seen on the fields. “It’s been two extremely difficult months – wrote Svitolina – not only mentally but also physically.
I have been struggling with a back problem for quite some time now, the pain has not allowed me to better prepare for the tournaments. In the meantime, I look with unbearable pain in my heart at what is happening in my Ukraine and how courageously our people are defending our country, this has given me a huge boost to continue fighting on the pitch. But now I can’t take it anymore and I need to rest.
Sad announcement that I will miss the Fed Cup and some of my favorite tournaments in Europe. But I’m sure we’ll see you around soon. Thank you for your support in this challenging period “. (ANSA).
