Tennis sensation Elina Svitolina is the Rouen Open 2025 champion. The 30-year-old star player has defeated Olga Danilovic with a scoreline of 6-4, 7-6 (8) to win her first-ever title this year after the Miami Open and Indian Wells heartbreak. Notably, Svitolina had a great start to this tournament as she defeated Anhelina Kalinina and Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in the pre-quarters and quarters before toppling Elena-Gabriela Ruse in the semi-final to make it to the final showdown.
The WTA star had a great start to the game, with the Ukrainian showcasing her best form with powerful shots and stunning hits to take the lead. However, the twist came in the second set of the game when they both went into a tiebreaker, with Danilovic putting in extra effort to win this set to level up. However, Danilovic's dreams were shattered as Svitolina's dominance allowed her to mark a straight-sets victory to clinch this title.

"Yeah, there is time for that and there is time also for tennis. There is time for training and recovery and just to completely switch off from everything. Also time with my family. You know, I have my daughter here. So, you know, it's nice to sometimes switch off completely from what's going on," Elina Svitolina said in Indian Wells 2025.
