Elina Svitolina was knocked out by Danielle Collins at the WTA in Montreal

Although at the beginning of the year she was out of the top 1300 tennis players in the world, Elina Svitolina quickly rose to the 26th place in the world.

However, the Ukrainian had a bad day against Danielle Collins, a player who entered the Montreal main draw from the qualifiers.

After two identical sets, authoritatively controlled by the player from the USA, Svitolina leaves the competition in the first round.

The game lasted one hour and 12 minutes.

In the second round, Daniel Collins will meet the Greek Maria Sakkari, the eighth favorite of the tournament.

The Banque Nationale Omnium, presented by Rogers, takes place this year in Montreal from August 7 to 13, is a WTA 1000 event, and featured 64 players in the main draw. Simona Halep won the competition in 2016, 2018 and 2022.
