I hope Svitty can get her head in the right place for the Australian swing, but she looked really drained in her loss to Paolini in the BJKC Finals.

It's the same as Bia; if you aren't emotionally in the right place to give 100% on the court in every match, it's better to take a break.

 

I love Elina, but has she played a single fall season since her comeback in 2023? She always leaves so many points on the table, although this year is certainly understandable why.

 

She ended her season early after the US Open due to the same injury in both 2023 and 2024, before undergoing surgery in 2024.

 

Not surprising, she hasn’t looked ok (either mentally or physically) for some time. She had a strong first half of the season, especially on clay, and I thought she was on her way to be back into the top 10 but since the grass season started she’s not been playing great apart from Montreal.
Ppl were talking about her weight loss in the result thread of the BJK Cup Finals and I’ve tried to find pics from the same position/angle to compare and that’s the best I could do



There’s a big difference. First pic is in 2024 Toronto, 2nd in Australian Open this year and 3rd is in Cincinnati last month Idk why she’s gotten sm skinnier than she already was but it doesn’t look healthy. I hope everything will be ok soon and she can come back stronger next season.

 

I hope her sudden "weight loss" is not an indication of some kind of sickness...

 

I hope she's OK... or can get herself to being OK.
I don't love her tennis, but personaility wise she's generally inoffensive and goes about things in the right way so can't help wishing her well.

 

Svitolina's 2025 season spanned from the Australian Open to the BJKC Finals.

The period from the Australian Open to the French Open was particularly successful for her:

• Australian Open: Quarterfinals
• Indian Wells: Quarterfinals
• Miami: Round of 16
• BJKC Qualifiers: Qualified
• Rouen: Winner
• Madrid: Semifinals
• Rome: Quarterfinals
• French Open: Quarterfinals

Also, she reached the Quarterfinals in Montreal and the BJKC Semifinals later in the season.

It's unfortunate that she didn't make it back into the top 10, but let's hope for another chance next season.

 

Hope you feel better soon Elaine!!

 

Insert pocahontas bye gif

 

That 1st round loss at the US Open was an eye opener as well. Almost like she lost the fight and fire in her eyes

Hopefully the injury isn’t too serious and takes time off to reset

I was a fan of hers for a while so I wish her all the best

 

She has a good result for this year.
But rest is a rest.

 

don’t blame her. She played well this year and maybe she needs it even more now as she gets older although she said it was mental also.

but I would guess it also goes hand in hand too.

Tennis players play too much tennis

 

I hope she's okay and can get to a better mental/emotional place for next season.

 

She will not be missed.

 

Speak for yourself. She has many fans, plenty of whom post on this forum.

 

Gael getting the boot soon?

 

That was my thought too

 

These players are making me so jealous.
I will call my boss tomorrow and tell him I am ending my season.
If tennis players can do it so can I.

 

Do you all remember when she got really skinny like this in 2018 and frankly looked like she had an eating disorder? As soon as I saw her playing last month my first thought was she’s struggling with the same thing again. Although last time it seemed as if her coach had convinced her to lose weight and it went too far. Here’s an article from the last time:
