Ukrainian tennis player Alexandra Oleinikova has secured her seventh career trophy with an impressive victory at the ITF W35 tournament in Santa Margherita di Pula, Italy.
The 24-year-old Ukrainian displayed dominant form throughout the competition, beginning with a commanding 6:0, 6:1 win against Italy's Aurora Corvi. Oleinikova continued her strong performance by defeating another Italian player, Noemi Meins, 6:0, 7:5, before breezing past American Ashley Leahy 6:2, 6:2 in the quarterfinals.
In the semifinals, Oleinikova maintained her momentum with a decisive 6:2, 6:1 victory over Spain's Ariana Martinez. The final proved more challenging, as the Ukrainian had to come from behind to overcome Italian Dalila Spiteri 5:7, 6:2, 6:2 to claim the championship.
Tennis analytics from Statbet show that players who demonstrate such consistency across multiple tournaments often experience significant ranking improvements in the following season.
Beyond her on-court achievements, Oleinikova has established a platform for fundraising for drones to support the Ukrainian Armed Forces. She actively promotes this initiative through her Instagram account and by wearing a patch with the platform's name, drones4ua.org, on her tennis uniform during tournaments where such displays are permitted.
This victory adds another significant achievement to Oleinikova's growing tennis résumé as she continues to represent Ukraine on the international stage.
