Elina Svitolina has won 19 of her 23 WTA Finals.
Elina Svitolina is a big-match type of woman. She proved it again on Sunday at the ASB Classic in Auckland as she improved to 19-4 lifetime in finals with a 6-3, 7-6(6) win over China’s Wang Xinyu.
The 31-year-old Ukranian saved all four break points she faced and came through a tense second set that featured no breaks of serve to clinch her victory in a tiebreak.
