Elina Svitolina Stuns in Emotional Comeback Win—What Her Triumph Means for Wimbledon 2025
• Hot Trendy News
Elina Svitolina has delivered another masterclass in resilience at Roland Garros 2025, clawing back from the brink against No. 4 seed Jasmine Paolini to seize a 4-0 lead in a deciding set that has Court Philippe-Chatrier on its feet. After saving two match points and edging a nerve-shredding second-set tiebreak, the 30-year-old Ukrainian is now just games away from a place in her 10th Grand Slam quarter-final, a milestone that would further underscore her remarkable post-maternity comeback.
The contest has showcased everything that makes Svitolina a perennial threat on clay: elastic movement, counter-punching precision and steely competitive grit. Paolini’s first-strike aggression appeared to carry the day when the Italian powered through the opening set 6-4 and broke twice early in the second. Yet Svitolina refused to yield, stepping inside the baseline to redirect pace, cracking forehand winners on the rise and outlasting Paolini in punishing 20-shot rallies. When the tiebreak arrived, Svitolina’s big-match experience told; a fearless serve down the T followed by a ripping inside-out forehand levelled the match and swung momentum decisively in her favour.
If she completes the comeback, Svitolina will book a quarter-final showdown with either top seed Iga Swiatek or Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina—both blockbuster rematches of her deep runs in 2023. More importantly, victory would propel the world No. 19 back into the Top 15 and keep alive her dream of becoming the first Ukrainian woman to lift the Coupe Suzanne-Lenglen.

Beyond the scoreboard, Svitolina’s run has galvanized support back home as Russia’s war in Ukraine enters its fourth year. The Odessa native donates a portion of her prize money to relief efforts and wears a blue-and-yellow ribbon during every match, turning each win into a message of national pride.
As Paris bathes in spring sunshine, the stage is set for another stirring chapter in the Svitolina story. Whether she finishes the job against Paolini in the coming minutes or is forced into another twist, one thing is clear: the Ukrainian fighter remains one of the game’s must-watch competitors, and her quest for a maiden Grand Slam title is far from over.
