Elina scored a quarterfinal at Indian Wells, reached the 1/8 finals in Miami, won two matches for the national team in the Billie Jean King Cup, including a win against her current opponent Thijkmann (6-4, 6-2). It can be said that an experienced tennis player keeps a certain level, below which she does not fall.
Professional qualities
Throughout her career, Elina has been distinguished by her precise work on the back line, the ability to attack at the right moment or simply wait for an opponent's mistake. She's never been very stable on her serve.
