Elina Svitolina, the talented Ukrainian tennis player, has brought her 2024 season to an early close after undergoing surgery on her foot. The 30-year-old shared the news on Instagram, revealing that she’s been managing a long-standing foot issue that has plagued her throughout the year, ultimately impacting her performance both on and off the court.
Svitolina, who reached the finals of the ASB Classic in Auckland to kickstart her season, has consistently been a force at the Grand Slams. She advanced to the Round of 16 at both the Australian Open and Roland Garros, and achieved her best Grand Slam result of the season at Wimbledon. Svitolina also notched two impressive Top 10 victories this year, including a thrilling three-set win over Jessica Pegula at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Despite her efforts, the ongoing foot injury has proved too challenging to manage. Svitolina has expressed her disappointment but also her determination to focus on her recovery and return to the court stronger than ever in 2025. She’s grateful for the support of her fans and is eager to be back on the court competing at the highest level.
