Elina Svitolina n'a peut-être pas pu aller en deuxième semaine de l'US Open, mais elle a tout de même réalisé une saison en Grand Chelem remarquable. Quart de finaliste à Roland-Garros puis demi-finaliste à Wimbledon, l'Ukrainienne n'a pas dépassé le troisième tour à New-York. Samedi soir, elle a cédé contre Jessica Pegula, 3e mondiale, 6-4, 4-6, 6-2. Une défaite loin d'être honteuse, contre l'une des prétendantes au titre. Revenue dans le Top 30, Svitolina pourra se montrer très ambitieuse en 2024.

00:00 Yeah, I feel that my game is getting getting better. I feel good on the court of course tough days sometimes
00:07 And you know today played against world number three, so you know it's not not easy
00:14 But I feel like that. I'm there
00:17 competitive
00:19 against
00:20 top players
00:22 Played well good matches
00:25 I'm happy with my level. I just want to you know to take some time off right now to recover physically and
00:32 Go again because when I'm physically fit. You know I can really
00:36 challenge these players and
00:39 The ranking will come and that time off would be especially with your daughter and all the positives from that
00:45 How long do you think in least a month or a few weeks and just the love that you got from the ash crowd?
00:50 When you went off I?
00:52 Don't know exactly now how much time off I will take I'm gonna see
00:56 I'm gonna see with the doctors what they're gonna suggest. I'm gonna speak with my team you know to to see what's
01:04 What's coming up for me? I just really want to take time to recover
01:11 I didn't see my daughter for a long time now, so I'm really looking forward to to go back home and
01:17 Yeah, just gonna go from there. I'm happy with the
01:22 Couple of months that I had right now, and I want to continue doing that but to do that
01:28 I need to be healthy well mixture of of everything. I would say obviously just she's
01:34 playing well striking the ball well and
01:37 It's not easy
01:41 To find your rhythm you know against the top players you need to come to come out
01:46 Being on the top of your game, so I was a bit bit struggling also. You know physically was
01:51 was not as fresh as the matches before and
01:55 Yeah, just mixture of everything
01:58 She she strikes the ball well
02:01 important points and
02:04 Served really well as well, so you know I I couldn't couldn't match today
02:10 Her her level even though it was three sides, but I felt like in the third set
02:15 She she stepped up and I couldn't couldn't be there
02:19 She's kind of where you were maybe six years ago say getting to quarterfinals of the Grand Slams
02:25 But then just not getting that step past it yet. Do you remember back then?
02:29 When that would happen were you gaining confidence like I'm getting closer or was it frustrating like I'm tired of getting here
02:36 But not getting past that
02:37 No each time that I wasn't in this situation. I was excited you know
02:41 And I I think for her as well. You know playing at home. It's it's special and
02:49 You know she she looks like she really enjoy playing here, and you know she is she's she's a good player
02:57 she really
02:59 brings her best game each time and
03:02 You know it shows that you know she she's
03:06 She's a great great player and who is very like stable as well. She's been showing great results winning
03:16 Montreal couple of weeks ago, so you know I think you know she she's ready to do an extra step forward
03:23 Well to be fair my goal was to enter top hundred when I started playing in March
03:38 So for sure I'm I'm I'm happy with
03:44 With the matches I had there are some
03:46 Matches of course disappointed, and I wish I could play better
03:50 Like the semifinal we will done
03:53 Today, but today did little bit different situation physically I couldn't push more
03:59 Again
04:03 In in Washington against Jess you know it was closer match there
04:07 So a couple of matches here and there I wish I could play better
04:12 But in the end I also didn't expect from myself such a high level
04:17 On at Wimbledon and anger us as well played really really solid so in general you know
04:25 I'm very very happy with the tournaments that that I played and with the season you know I'm
04:32 close to to top 20 to come back and
04:36 Yeah, I'm just I'm taking a lot of positives from from this
04:42 last question Andrew
04:44 Adidas has had that successful
04:46 Wear for all the athletes for your side, so and both of you guys have wore blue
04:51 throughout the first
04:53 Two matches was something where you wore the dark color today for the weather or was it just another reason just to?
05:00 Wear that color. No. It's just to not have the same outfit. I think it's I
05:06 Think it's good because there we have different collections as well for the US Open some players playing
05:11 Darker colors some playing in blue, so I was wearing. I don't mind to change you know
05:17 and
05:19 I liked this outfit, so I decided to go in a different one to to represent the
05:26 Darker colors today, so it was nice
05:32 So it's nice. I think for the for people to do also. You know have something different
