The first racket of Ukraine and so far the fifth racket of the planet Elina Svitolina (later it will drop to the sixth line, note. ), left WTA Series Tour - Hong Kong Open.

In the framework of the quarter finals of the competition Svitolin lost to the representative of China - Wang Qiang.

The game, which began on October 12, was interrupted by rain.. At that time, Elina "burned" to the rival with a score of 2: 6 and 2: 5. The tournament organizers decided to postpone the meeting on the morning of the next day..

The Heavenly Chancellery did not help Svitolina very much, which eventually gave way with a score of 2: 6 and 4: 6. Elina's problems do not end there.. In addition to all this, she may drop out of participation in the Singapore Final, because before the end of the year Svitolina is no longer declared for more than one tournament.. The fate of the Ukrainian woman will now depend on the speeches of her closest rivals, who are Karolina Plushkova and Kiki Bertens.

Interestingly, in the Hong Kong Open final another Ukrainian will play - Diana Yastremskaya.
