Svitolina seemingly back to receiving major brand sponsorship, shows off Adidas Wimbledon kit ahead of Centre Court tie with Venus Williams
WTA
Elina
Svitolina shared a video using Adidas as her new sponsor for her match against
Venus Williams on Centre Court at Wimbledon.
The
28-year-old athlete is gearing up for her debut at the All England Club against
the American legend, Venus Williams. While the spotlight has been on the 7-time
Grand Slam champion, Svitolina is also in the process of making a comeback to
the WTA tour after over a year of absence.
The
Ukrainian player decided to take a break for mental health reasons following
the start of the war in her country, and later became pregnant with her
daughter Skai, together with her husband, fellow tennis player Gael Monfils.
Upon her return at the 2023 Charleston Open, she appeared with her classic
sponsor Nike, but a little over a month later, she was seen sporting the
Ukrainian brand Paka at the Rome Open.
Although
there is no official confirmation, it seems almost certain that the former WTA
Finals champion would have a new agreement with the German brand Adidas, as she
posted a video on her social media showing herself on the Wimbledon courts
wearing an Adidas white dress.
Svitolina
will be wearing her new sponsor's clothing in her debut against the 5-time
Wimbledon champion, Venus Williams, on Centre Court. The 43-year-old North
American recently secured her first victory on the WTA tour in two years,
thanks to a great match in the first round of the Birmingham Open against
Camila Giorgi, although she fell in the second round to Jelena Ostapenko.
This will
be the fifth time Svitolina and Williams face each other, with three victories
for the Ukrainian and one for the former world No. 1. Their last encounter was
at the 2019 US Open, also resulting in a victory for Svitolina.
The former
world No. 3's best result was reaching the semifinals in 2019, where she lost
to eventual champion Simona Halep with a score of 6-1, 6-3.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
