The best tennis player of Ukraine Elina Svitolina went to the final of the ground-breaking tournament WTA Premier 5 in Rome.

Ukrainka in the semi-final met with the current champion Roland Garros Garbinie Mugurusoy.

However, the Spanish athlete refused to continue the fight in the 22nd minute of the game. Mugursa called the doctor on the court and after the consultation decided to stop the fight (the official reason - neck injury).

At that time, the score was 4: 1 in favor of the Ukrainian.

In the debut final, Elina will meet with the Romanian tennis player Simone Halep. Halep leads by personal meetings 2-0.

Note that the exit to the final guaranteed Svitolina personal world record.
