The star player further added that giving her best on tennis courts also makes her feel that she is doing something great for Ukraine.

"Yeah, there is time for that and there is time also for tennis. There is time for training and recovery and just completely switch off from everything. Also time with my family. You know, I have my daughter here. You know, Gael is here also. So, you know, it's nice to sometimes switch off completely from what's going on. I feel like it's something that I try to do for my country. You know, to see my flag, you know, raising and, you know, to see the tick with the wind from my country," Svitolina said after the win.
