Ekaterina Alexandrova finally defeated Elina Svitolina in their 4th match and the Russian was thrilled with her performance at the bett1 Open.
It was a historically tough matchup for Ekaterina Alexandrova but the Russian was not to be denied the win over Elina Svitolina whom she bested 6-4 7-5. The Russian put forward a great performance not getting discouraged even after falling behind in the 2nd set. She rallied to take it 7-5 and get her first win over Svitolina.
She said after the match:
"Fourth time lucky. I really like playing on grass. I was looking forward to it."
All three of their previous matches were won by Svitolina but they were also played on slower courts which favour the Ukrainian more. On the matchup she said:
"To play against Elina is always tough and I'm surprised I won in two sets. In my mind I was already focused on the third set - I think I was luckier in that important game, and when I broke her back it gave me more confidence."

- 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".
