“People who don’t give up on taking charge of their life and from whom we all have something to learn. Stay tuned following #wewearstripes,” Svitolina ended the video saying this. 

On 28th February, people can connect with one another from all over the world and talk about their rare diseases. There will also be a pre-recorded seminar for people to learn more about rare diseases.

Will Elina Get her form back?

Recently, Svitolina lost to Jil Teichmann in the second round of the Dubai Open. Later, the Ukrainian tennis player lost to Tereza Martincova in the first round of the Qatar Open.

In 2018, Svitolina won the WTA Finals, still her best achievement on the tour. Before that, in 2017, Svitolina achieved her career-high ranking no.3. To reach that level again, she must win a few tournaments to get her form and confidence back. Winning a few tournaments will help her in the future and help her perform well in the Grand Slam events.

Can Svitolina win a big tournament this year? Lets us know in the comments.
