Elina Svitolina topples Jasmine Paolini to reach Australian Open round of 16

A few hours after her husband’s success against the No. 4 seed, Taylor Fritz (3-6, 7-5, 7-6 [1]6-4), Elina Svitolina therefore achieved exactly the same performance, notably with the help of a serve which came loose during the game, earning her a lot of free points, including six aces. Under the gaze of Gaël Monfils, who returned to encourage her from her box until the end of the match, she did not weaken in the final straight, even inflicting a bubble on the Italian.
