Elina Mykhailivna Svitolina (Ukrainian: Еліна Михайлівна Світоліна, pronounced [ɛˈlʲinɑ̝ s⁽ʲ⁾vʲiˈtɔlʲinɑ̝];[3] born 12 September 1994) is a Ukrainian professional tennis player. She reached career-high rankings of No. 3 in singles and No. 108 in doubles by the WTA. Svitolina has won 17 WTA Tour singles titles, including the 2018 WTA Finals, and has reached three major singles semifinals.
Svitolina first broke into the world's top 50 in July 2013, reached the top 20 in June 2015, and then the top 10 in May 2017, making her the first Ukrainian woman to reach the top 10 in rankings after surpassing compatriot Alona Bondarenko. After winning her first WTA Tour title in 2013, she won five additional titles until 2017, during which she won five titles that same year to propel her into the top 10. Among her titles are the 2018 WTA Finals and three Premier 5-level tournaments: the Dubai Tennis Championships, the Italian Open, and the Canadian Open. She has also won two titles in doubles, both at the İstanbul Cup, in 2014 and 2015. Svitolina produced her best performances at the majors in 2019, reaching two semifinals at Wimbledon and the US Open. In 2021, Svitolina won the Olympic bronze medal in the women's singles tournament at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and became the first Olympian to win a medal in tennis for Ukraine.
In 2022, Svitolina took a break from professional tennis to give birth to her first child. She made a strong comeback upon her return to competition in 2023, winning a WTA Tour title and reaching the French Open quarterfinals and the Wimbledon semifinals (beating world No. 1 Iga Świątek in the latter) in her first few tournaments back.
