Review of the match Svitolina – Kalinina
This was the third face-to-face meeting of the tennis players. Svitolina won all three matches, without losing a single set to Kalinina.
In the 1/16 finals, Svitolina will play against the third racket of the world, American Cori Gauff, who is the current champion of the US Open. Last year, in the final, she defeated the “neutral” Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka.
Earlier, the first racket of Ukraine Marta Kostyuk (No. 19 WTA) also reached the third round of the 2024 US Open.
Dajana Yastremska (No. 34 WTA), Yulia Starodubtseva (No. 146 WTA), Lesia Tsurenko (No. 85 WTA) and Ekaterina Baindl (No. 329 WTA) were eliminated in the first round of the competition.
Recall that this year, Ukraine was represented in the US Open 2024 by seven tennis players at once – this is a new national record.
