In the second round of the competition, the 30-year-old native of Odessa lost to the world's fifth racket to American Jessica Pegula.
The match lasted 1 hour 59 minutes and ended with a score of 3:6, 6:7.
During the time spent on the court, Elina served five times, made three double faults and converted 4 of 11 break points.
