"I cannot compare it to what it was before the pregnancy": Svitolina has found new lease of live after becoming a mother

Ukraine’s tennis star Elina Svitolina has revealed that her mindset has changed after going through pregnancy.
The 2020 Olympics Bronze medal winner became a parent in October last year and since then, she has been in pretty decent form on the court.
This year, Svitolina has already won 14 matches out of the 23, having a win percentage of 64.3, including a WTA title triumph in Strasbourg where she defeated Anna Blinkova in the final with a score of 6-2, 6-3.
Talking about her life after becoming a parent, the 28-year-old revealed that she is motivated ‘like never before’.
"I cannot compare it to what it was before the pregnancy,” she said. “Now is very different. It's like something new in my game. Also my mindset is very fresh now, I'm really motivated like never before. Yeah, just happy with where I am right now.”
The Odesa-born further stated that she is now trusting the process, something which is paying dividends to her.
"I just try to not be so hard on myself when I was not winning so many matches,” she added. “I knew that I was playing the right way. Just few points I was not playing aggressive, I was not, you know, taking so much risk. And now everything is back to good, and I'm feeling that I'm in a good form right now. Since Strasbourg, I have been striking the ball really well and feeling really well.”
Svitolina has started brightly in Wimbledon 2023 where she has already booked her place in the third round.
In the competition opener, she outclassed the former world number one Venus Williams in straight sets with a score of 6-4, 6-3. In the second round, Svitolina defeated Belgium’s Elise Mertens with a score of 6-1, 1-6, 6-1.
She will now face the 2020 Australian Open winner America’s Sofia Kenin in the round of 32 clash on Friday.
