New mother Svitolina to make comeback at Charleston Open in April

The Hindu  

Former world number three Elina Svitolina will make her return to the WTA Tour following her maternity break at next month’s Charleston Open in South Carolina after accepting a wild card, organisers of the claycourt tournament said. The 28-year-old has also partnered with the tournament and WTA Charities to host a special “Tennis Plays for Peace” pro-am event in April, benefiting war-torn Ukraine and the Elina Svitolina Foundation. “We are passionate about working with Elina, who has a deep and personal understanding of the needs in her home country right now, to further exemplify the mission of Tennis Plays for Peace and stand united with Ukraine.” The tournament hosted a pro-am in 2022 and raised $100,000 in donations for relief efforts in Ukraine. Svitolina, who has 16 WTA titles and is a two-times Grand Slam semi-finalist, will be joined in the Charleston field by five former champions including holder Belinda Bencic.
