NEW DELHI: Elina Svitolina, a former French Open quarter-finalist, showcased her determination and resilience as she advanced to the fourth round of Roland Garros with a hard-fought victory over Russian player Anna Blinkova. Svitolina's performance resulted in a 2-6, 6-2, 7-5 triumph in Paris on Friday.
Svitolina, who recently made her return to the WTA Tour after the birth of her daughter, Skai, demonstrated her form by winning her first title in two years at the Strasbourg final. The former world number three had not reached the third round of a Grand Slam since the 2022 Australian Open.
