Ukrainian Elina Svitolina, the No 21 seed, moved into the quarter-finals of Wimbledon by winning against Chinese Xinyu Wang 6-2, 6-1 at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London on Monday afternoon.
This will be her third Wimbledon quarter-final. On the two previous occasions she has reached the last eight, she has gone on to reach the semi-finals too.
“I’ve been feeling quite well on the courts of Wimbledon”, Svitolina said. “Been striking the ball extremely well. I think every match I’ve been improving, playing better and better. Serve been working quite well, as well.”
Svitolina, ranked No 21, will play Kazakh Elena Rybakina, the No 4 seed, next. “It’s going to be another big battle in the quarterfinal. Played Elena a couple of times already so I know what to expect. Hopefully tomorrow will be a little bit of a better day regarding the spirit-wise.
