Elina Svitolina Wins First Title in Nearly Two Years at Rouen Open

Ukrainian tennis player Elina Svitolina won her first title in nearly two years by defeating Serbia's Olga Danilovic 6-4, 7-6(8) in the final of the WTA 250 Rouen Open. Entering as the top seed, Svitolina did not drop a set throughout the tournament and demonstrated resilience by saving two set points in the second set tiebreak before clinching her 18th career WTA title—her seventh on clay. The victory marks her first tournament win since May 2023, shortly after returning from maternity leave. Svitolina, who has a strong record in finals at 18-4, has also been active off the court as an ambassador for Ukrainian causes. The win further cements her reputation as a consistent and formidable competitor on the women's tour.
