Lopatetska is next tennis prodigy
The Ukrainian presence on the WTA Tour was alive and well in 2019. Elina Svitolina has found her rightful place in the top-10 and Lesia Tsurenko elevated herself thanks to her best career finish – the final at the 2019 Brisbane International. The success continues with teenage sensation Dayana Yastremska’s rise of over 100 places in the WTA rankings and her first title win, while another teenager, Marta Kostyuk, made waves by becoming the youngest player to reach a Grand Slam third round in over a decade.
