Watching Svitolina v Paolini its obvious
that Elena lacks endurance; she's let her
body got too thin & frail. Her trainer needs
to bulk her up. She's got skills & tough
mind set to do much better ✅

It has been going on for a while' and while early in the season one could get the impression she was trying to optimise her playing weight - which the result have supported - it seems to have gone too far by now. An errant thought of mine is that she might be using Ozempic or the like' and that it's preventing her from getting a nutritional intake proper for an athlete.

An even grimmer alternative would be that she has somesort eating disorder' which several players have been known to suffer from.. or maybe she's just going through a rough patch and it’s all a coincidence' but it all does seem worrying.

Regardless of her weight issues, Svitolina is done as a top player. She is in a slump now, only winning 1 out of her previous 4 matches. She will never win any more big titles. Period. If she is lucky, she may vulture a mickey mouse tournament before she retires. But I will not be surprised if she never wins any more titles and I predict she will drop out of the top twenty pretty fast.

Svitolina had already gone through his, losing too much weight, yet it didn't keep her from winning her biggest title (the YEC) in 2018.
True but by that YEC she had already -thankfully- taken a few trips to the closest KFC she could find. The peak of her weight loss back then was iirc during grass season.



In your HL video she already looks a bit fuller especially in the face.

Compare to Miami. She looked healthy and strong back then. By RG she was very lean and she seems to have lost more weight since.

Her movement doesn't seem as explosive. Her current physique is fine for endurance sports, but tennis requires a lot of strength too.
