Under-done Svitolina calls a halt to her season

Elina Svitolina will cut her losses in a sputtering 2025 season, with the Ukrainian ending her campaign early after a run of disheartening results.

The No. 13 will spend time with husband Gael Monfils and the couple’s daughter Skye after Svitolina called a halt to the current campaign.

Svitolina, a quarter-finalist in 2025 in Melbourne and Paris, lost in the first rounds at both Cincinnati and the US Open over the past six weeks.

She won a round for her country at the BJK Cup bit admitted the fire has gone out of her current game.

“I haven’t been feeling like myself lately. I’m not in the right emotional space, and I don’t feel ready to play, so I am therefore ending the season here,” the 31-year-old posted on Instagram.

“Over the years, I’ve learned that this sport isn’t about money, fame, or rankings—it’s about being ready to fight and to give your all. 

“Right now, I’m simply not at the level mentally or emotionally to do that. Not every day has to be productive, strong, or full of energy. Some days are heavy—and that doesn’t make me weak. 

“It just means I’m human and need time to rest, to feel, to breathe and to just be.”

Svitolina said she will cut her losses and work to regroup mentally over the coming months until the January Australian re-start.

“I’m giving myself the space I need to heal and recharge, instead of forcing it and when I step back on the court, I want to fight with everything I’ve got and put my best self on the court for the fans, for the game and for myself. Love, Elina.”

Her decision means he will miss the current Asian swing, with major events in Beijing and Wuhan.
