Elina Svitolina Slumps in WTA Rankings, Out of Top 10 for the First Time Since 2017
Ukrainian tennis player Elina Svitolina has been a prominent name in the women’s circuit in recent year. Sadly, she hasn’t been at her best in the 2021 season. She has witnessed some poor results in recent times.
Most recently, Svitolina was competing at the Tenerife Ladies Open, where she was the top-seed. Surprisingly, the Ukranian was eliminated in the first round itself by the 19-year-old Colombian, Camila Osorio. As a result of the poor results, Elina Svitolina has slipped down the rankings in the WTA circuit.

Svitolina will be looking to make a strong comeback in the 2022 season. How high do you think she can go next year?
