NEW DELHI: Elina Svitolina made a remarkable comeback after a shaky start to defeat five-time Wimbledon champion Venus Williams 6-4, 6-3 in the first round on Monday.
Despite losing her first service game to the experienced American, Svitolina quickly broke back. However, Williams, who is 43 years old, slipped on the grass of Centre Court, falling to the ground in pain and clutching her right knee, which was already strapped. Svitolina took advantage of the situation, narrowing the score to 2-1.
