During the third round at the 2019 US Open, world ranked No. 5 Elina Svitolina faces fellow Ukrainian professional tennis player, No. 32 Dayana Yastremska. The match will be held at the Louis Armstrong Stadium on Friday, August 30 (7pm on ESPN).
It’s been a good year for Svitolina, who became the first Ukrainian to reach the semifinals at Wimbledon. She defeated Daria Gavrilova, Maria Sakkari, Petra Martić and Karolína Muchová, before facing Simona Halep who took the title.
When not on the court, the 24-year-old, 5’9″ Svitolina knows how to enjoy her downtime and relax. In the photo above, she refers to herself as a “professional chiller” as she plays billiards in a barely there string bikini.
She knows how to wear a string bikini!
Earlier this spring, she got glam for an amfAR event in Cannes. See pic below. She wore a see-thru metallic embroidered dress by British designer Amanda Wakeley.
