Elina Svitolina, 28, reveals she is aiming to return inside the top-10 on the WTA Tour rankings list. Svitolina, a former world No 3, was ranked outside the top-1000 when she returned to tennis in April following a 14-month break.
Since then, Svitolina has drastically improved her ranking as she is now ranked at No 76 in the world. So far at Wimbledon, Svitolina has reached the round-of-16. Even if Svitolina doesn’t win any more matches at this year’s Wimbledon, she will still improve for around 20 spots when the WTA rankings list gets updated.
“For me, that would probably be top 10. I always have high expectations. It may sound arrogant, but I will always have high expectations for myself. Every time I participate in a tournament, I want to win it. It doesn’t matter.
Even the first tournament I played in Charleston, everyone said to me, ‘Oh, it’s incredible, you are already playing your first tournament in April’. But even then, my goal was to win the tournament,” Svitolina said.
