Elina Svitolina makes her feelings known on her goals at this stage of her career

Elina Svitolina recently talked about her immediate goals at this stage of her career. Svitolina, a 2020 Olympics bronze medalist, has been one of the tennis players who are currently competing on the tour post-maternity break.

Svitolina shared that she is mentally prepared and focused to fare well in tournaments and compete against major players on the tour. She also reflected on the change tennis has seen in recent years and stated (via Tennis.com):

"I feel like I’m fit, I’m playing well, I’m mentally very locked in for the tournaments. I just want to find this edge and try to challenge these big players, to become one of them again. In order to do that you need to be perfect, or at least find your own way that works for you. I have all the experience from previous years but right now, the tennis is more powerful."

Elina Svitolina has been a regular candidate in the final eight of major tournaments like the Australian Open, Indian Wells Masters, and Madrid Open in 2025. She has been able to cross this hurdle just once during the Madrid Open, defeating Japan's Moyuka Uchijima.
