Best tennis player of Ukraine Elina Svitolina gave an open lesson for children in Kiev. Unlike toddlers, for whom she is an unconditional idol, the untested authorities do not have enough left of the 4th racket of the world, says the TSN. 19:30.

Last year, Svitolina managed to outplay three of the main competitors from the top ten ranking, so for her there are no idols anymore. Elina now has only one rival - herself. "Because when you go out on the court and play against your opponent, and against yourself, because you have to overcome your fears.

In any sport, psychology plays a big role, "- she admitted.

To journalists Elina has opened a small secret: before leaving on court, she tries at least for 5-10 minutes to be alone. "I conduct myself in my room, I'm tuning what I have to do, I draw up a clear plan," she said.. Svitolin plans to implement his plans in the near future in the United States, where several prestigious tournaments are waiting for her at once.
