Garbine Muguruza has expressed her awe and inspiration after observing Elina Svitolina’s intense training session from close quarters.
Svitolina recently stunned world No. 1 Iga Swiatek by a 7-5, 6-7(5), 6-2 scoreline to reach the Wimbledon 2023 semifinals. It was the Ukranian’s second semifinal appearance at the grasscourt Major and it came less than nine months after she gave birth to a baby girl.
Svitolina then faced unseeded and eventual champion Marketa Vondrousova in the semifinals, losing 6-3 6-3 in just an hour and 14 minutes.
Former World No. 1 Garbine Muguruza, meanwhile, has won two Grand Slam singles titles – the 2016 French Open and the 2017 Wimbledon Championships.
Muguruza recently shared a story on her Instagram about watching Svitolina in an intense training session. Svitolina also shared Muguruza’s story on her Instagram with two smiley emoji.
