Elina Svitolina unexpectedly failed at a major tournament Premier Mandatory in Miami.

In the second round “Miami Open” Svitolina in 1 hour and 22 minutes gave the 50th racket of the world van Apani. The first racket of Ukraine for the first time since October last year, lost two matches in a row.

In the first set Svitolina won only 11 of 25 points on his serve. Ukrainian allowed van Afeni to make three breaks, and the reception was able to answer only one successful game.
