Ukrainian tennis star Elina Svitolina has been picked to be involved in management duties for her home nation of Ukraine at the Billie Jean King Cup, a role that will be undertaken over the next four years.
The former World No.3 has always been involved in improving the state of tennis in her home country. Following the announcement, Svitolina will mentor the Ukrainian national team in an attempt to achieve more recognition at the international event.
Svitolina makes announcement following major move by the Ukrainian Tennis Federation
The Ukrainian Tennis Federation (UTF) recently announced the transfer of rights of the women's team to the player's foundation from 2024 to 2027, prompting Svitolina to notify her fans and followers of her new role.
"A new chapter in the history of the Svitolina Foundation: for the next 4 years, we will manage the Ukrainian women's national team in the @BJKCup team tennis championships," wrote Svitolina on Twitter.
The 2024 Billie Jean King Cup qualifiers will run between April 12-13, 2024, with Ukraine being drawn against Romania. Ukraine lost to the Czech Republic during the 2023 qualifiers, so fans are curious to see how the team will fare under Svitolina's guidance.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
