Elina Svitolina missed much of last year due to pregnancy but she returned this year and now she's claimed her first WTA Tour-level win in Strasbourg.
Svitolina made her return at the Charleston Open losing to Yulia Putintseva in a very close 3-set match. Since then she played a few ITF events but wasn't able to score any WTA-level wins. She did that today at the WTA event in Strasbourg beating Louisa Chirico 6-4 7-6(1). It's the official return of Svitolina and she's certainly going to win some more matches in the future.
The Ukranian was a stable member of the top 20 when she got pregnant and the expectation is that she'll get back there. The Strasbourg event will serve as a good prep for Roland Garros which is coming up.

- 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".
