That’s a big achievement for WTA Tour, and hopefully we can do even more in the future”

“I don’t really think of my chances," added Svitolina.

I try to go with a fresh mind and to approach this tournament as all the other ones. Of course, it’s very special because it gathers only the eight best players in the world. For me last year, it definitely gave the confidence and this push to play well at the Grand Slams.

I’m very motivated to come and play”
