The fourth racket of the world, Ukrainian Elina Svitolina, reached the quarter finals of the tournament, which takes place in Stuttgart, Germany.

Svitolina's opponent was Czech tennis player Marketa Vondrushova, who in the first round of the competition defeated the German Julia Gerges with a score of 6: 2, 6: 2. As for Elina, she started the fight in the tournament immediately from the second round.

Having lost in the first set with the score 2: 6, Svitolina found the strength to recoup in the next game - 6: 1.

The third set also won the Ukrainian (3-2), but did not finish the match completely for the athletes - Vondrushova refused to continue the fight. Most likely, such a decision is connected with the trauma of a Czech athlete.

Thus, after defeating her opponent, Svitolina went to the next stage of the competition. The prize fund of this tournament is 776 thousand dollars. The next rival of Elina will be the Spanish tennis player Caroline Garcia, who knocked out of the tournament another Ukrainian Martha Kostyuk. This game will be held on April 27, 2018.
