What a beautiful match we had this Thursday at the WTA 250 de Auckland between Elina Svitolina and Katie Boulter. The victory went to the Ukrainian, who at 31 years old still seems to have plenty of fuel left in the tank. Still firmly within the top 15 in the world, moments like the one we are about to show confirm that Elina maintains the same motivation as day one, ready to give it her all in pursuit of that elusive Grand Slam final. For now, this week she has already made it to the quarterfinals, and we will see how far she can go.
