And her connection to Harry Styles is the sweetest story
spectators as much as Ukraine's Elina Svitolina. The tennis player has quickly gone from wildcard to the brink of the final. After defeating the world No.1 Iga Swiate in a magnificent three-set victory yesterday, the 28-year-old has soared to the semi-finals and now the finals are in touching distance. But amongst her whirlwind comeback lies a quiet strength. It's almost impossible to believe that she gave birth just a mere 9 months ago.
Of course, society’s comments and views on when the right time to return to work is doesn’t help. There is still an unbalanced view on gender roles when it comes to parenting - but again Elina's family are defying this. Whilst she takes on her matches, her husband Gael is at home watching their daughter. In a press conference she said, 'He’s happy at home. He’s watching from home with Skaï. He has his routines before my match. It’s ok, I let him stay at home.
'It’s really unbelievable what they are doing for our country,' said Svitolina, when asked about those serving in the armed forces. 'I can’t thank them enough for their bravery, for what they are going through. All Ukrainians, we are here to help them to win this war.' This reinvention of Elina is truly wonderful for the world to watch. In the last year she's gone through good moments and hardships but she never gave up. She is inspiring mothers to get back out there whenever they're ready and not to fall into the trap of going back to work 'too soon' or 'too late.
