She needed a medical timeout between the first and second sets and appeared to favor the hip at times, but managed to finish.<\/p>\n However, the toll of winning that grass-court battle<\/a> proved too heavy.<\/p>\n “Last night was a hard-fought victory, but it took a little bit more than expected out of my body, so therefore I need a few more days to recover,” Svitolina said in a video posted to X.<\/p>\n The Ukranian star expressed her best wishes to her fellow competitors and promised fans she’d return to the WTA 500 tournament<\/a> next year.<\/p>\n Her withdrawal gives Wang Xinyu a bye into the Bad Homburg semifinals, where she will face either No. 6 seed Naomi Osaka<\/a> or Ekaterina Alexandrova.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, with Wimbledon<\/a> just five days away, 31-year-old Svitolina is turning her full attention to the grass-court major where she’s reached the semifinal stage twice before.<\/p>\n The post Elina Svitolina Withdraws From Bad Homburg Open Ahead of Wimbledon<\/a> appeared first on Just Women's Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
