Elina Svitolina has confirmed his big comeback in the WTA 250 Strasbourg. At least that’s how we could define it after qualifying for the final against the local Clara Burell122nd of the ranking by 4-6, 7-5, 6-3.

Two hours and 23 minutes were enough to consummate the comeback by the Ukrainian who, after being down on the scoreboard, turned the light around in a great way, coming back from a 4-1 deficit in the second quarter with four games in a row to take the second set 7-5.

30 points out of 53 disputed They were worth to her in the third set to sentence the match and show her best level during the match, which despite the fact that the Frenchwoman evened it 3-3, Svitolina she would do the best of herself to settle the match and take the third set 6-3.

We will not claim that Svitolina She is at her best level, but little by little she regains the confidence that led her to be the Top 3 in the world. In Strasbourg she will be present at a final of the WTA Tour circuit for the first time since Chicago 2021 in which he surpassed the French Alize Cornet 7-5, 6-4.

In ‘Galic’ territory too returns to a definition on clay for the first time since September 2021just in Strasbourg where at that time he would beat Elena Rybakina by 6-4, 1-6, 6-2.

In the final the Russian awaits her Anna Blinkova, 66th in the ranking and against which it does not register previous confrontations. Whatever happens, Svitolina has secured a meritorious promotion from 250 positions in the next ranking update that will place it as 258th in the world. Something that can be improved upon obtaining the title, since it would position itself as 191st in the world ranking.
