Ukraine’s tennis player
Elina Svitolina has revealed that
she is excited to face the former world number one Denmark’s
Caroline Wozniacki
in the first round of the WTA event in Auckland.
The 2024 season is finally underway with a number of competitions
starting in the Australian continent. One of them is the ASB Classic which will
be played in the New Zealand city of Auckland.
In the first round, the fans will witness a mouthwatering contest
between Svitolina and Wozniacki. Talking about it, the 29-year-old expressed
her excitement about facing the former world number one after a gap of more
than five years.
“It’s going to be a tough one,” she said. “But I’m really
looking forward to this match. When I found out that Caroline was coming back,
I always wanted to play against her. It’s going to be an exciting one.”
Wozniacki made a return to tennis after a gap of more
than three years in 2023. However, that return did not go as planned as the
33-year-old did not enjoy a good season and hardly secured any notable
victories.
On the other hand, Svitolina had a more than decent time on
the court where she won one WTA title and also played in the quarterfinal and
the semifinal of the Grand Slam.
