Ukrainian tennis star Elina Svitolina has been honored with the WTA's 'Best Shot of April' award for her remarkable forehand during the WTA 250 tournament final. The world-class shot came during her match against Olga Danilovic, in a contest that Svitolina ultimately won in straight sets to claim the championship trophy.
The top-ranked Ukrainian player faced stiff competition for this prestigious recognition, edging out notable talents including Payton Stearns, Jule Niemeier, Aryna Sabalenka, Mirra Andreeva, the doubles team of Caroline Dolehide and Desiree Krawczyk, as well as Katerina Siniakova.
This victory marks the second consecutive month that Ukrainian tennis has dominated the 'Shot of the Month' category. In March, Svitolina's compatriot Marta Kostyuk claimed the honor with an impressive hand-ace during her performance in Miami.
According to performance analytics from Statbet, Ukrainian players have been showing exceptional technical prowess in recent tournaments, with their shot selection ranking among the most effective on tour.
This recognition further cements Ukraine's growing reputation as a powerhouse in women's tennis, with their athletes consistently demonstrating skill and creativity on court at the highest levels of competition.
