"My goal is to get in a game and tournament shape": 'No expectations' for Svitolina ahead of post pregnancy comeback at CreditOne Charleston Open

Elina Svitolina will take part in the WTA event in Charleston next week but she has no expectations simply wanting to get back into tennis shape.
Svitolina has been out of tennis since last year when she announced her pregnancy. She gave birth later that year and since then has slowly worked her way back into tennis playing shape. The Ukranian will need a few events to properly find her rhythm and that's the main goal of this comeback.
She has absolutely no expectations in terms of results:
"At the moment, my goal is to get in a game and tournament shape, because it's a little different. It's very important to focus properly, to get out of the tough matches that I'm sure I'm going to have ahead of me. It will take some time to be 100% fit."
She added:
"I have no expectations of myself. It is important for me to set short-term tasks that I can achieve within a month, two at most. Yes, there are goals that I would like to achieve by the end of my career."
And concluded with:
"They are always somewhere on my mind. But right now it's
important for me to set these small tasks and move forward to build back
my form, find my game, be physically fit and strong. That's important
for me at the moment. To try to come closer to my game with each
practice, each match. I was motivated and I'm motivated for 100%, so we will see."

- Not only did he Lose... he has shown yet again he is a Loser. If his behavior is a surprise to anyone, then you have a poor ability to assess a person's true being. Or do not wish to see it. A hint may have been when anti-Vax Boy contracted Covid, yet knowingly exposed kids & adults while taking selfies and promo photos with small crowds during at least two publicity functions. That's not the actions of someone who is at all concerned about others! No matter who it may be, famous or not, sooner or later their true identity shines through the façade.
