Ukrainian tennis player Elina Svitolina won her fourth match at the Australian Open on Jan. 20, defeating Russian neutral Veronika Kudermentova.<\/p>\n

Svitolina is the only Ukrainian<\/a> to reach the quarterfinals in Melbourne, Australia. Prior to that, the 30-year-old defeated WTA No. 4 Jasmine Paolini, Romanian Sorana Cirstea, and American Caroline Dolehide.<\/p>\n

The match against Kudermetova<\/a> lasted 1 hour and 23 minutes and ended with a score of 6-4, 6-1 in favor of the Ukrainian. Svitolina served five aces, and made three double faults. The Ukrainian tennis player<\/a> also converted five out of nine break points.<\/p>\n

In the first set, Svitolina was down 1-4 but won the next five games and cruised to victory.<\/p>\n

“I was just trying to fight, you know, for this fighting spirit,” she said.<\/p>\n

“I mean, the only thing I can do when things are not going your way, you just try to really put your head down and get back to work,” she added.<\/p>\n

The Australian Open<\/a> quarterfinals is a personal best for Svitolina. She also played at this stage in 2018 and 2019.<\/p>\n

“That was a lifetime ago,” Svitolina<\/a> said during an interview after the match.<\/p>\n

“You know, so many things happen \u2014 having a daughter, Skai, then surgery as well. I\u2019m really pleased with the performance throughout this tournament,” she added.<\/p>\n

Svitolina will face Madison Keys of the U.S., who defeated Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan, in the quarterfinals. <\/p>\n
