Former world No. 3 Elina Svitolina has announced that she will end her 2025 tennis season earlier than planned, explaining that she is not in the right emotional state to continue competing. The Ukrainian star shared her thoughts on Instagram, opening up about the mental and emotional challenges she has been facing.
“I haven’t been feeling like myself lately,” Svitolina admitted. “I’m not in the right emotional space, and I don’t feel ready to play, so I am therefore ending the season here.”
Svitolina emphasized that, for her, tennis has never been about money, fame, or rankings—it has always been about giving her full effort and being ready to fight on court.
