Elina Svitolina is one of the Ukrainian players who has been hit by the war in her motherland and spoke about the emotional effect it had on her.
Former world number 3 in the WTA Rankings spoke about how she deals with everything happening right now and how she's trying to help. Now, she has launched another initiative in partnership with TopCourt.
TopCourt is a popular streaming service, which offers classes to aspiring tennis players, and the coaches are the best of the best, competing on both the ATP and the WTA Tours.
Now, joining the team of experienced coaches is another ace from the women's Tour, Elina Svitolina, but the Ukrainian's involvement is about more than the coaching; she wants to help with her contribution.
Almost like every valuable service, TopCourt is a paid service, and that means that fans or aspiring players have to pay if they want to watch the lessons, but the 28-year-old won't turn her contribution into a profit, but rather a charitable donation.
Svitolina made her own tennis lecture, and the profits will go to the Tennis Plays For Peace Fund, which should support Ukraine in the hard times that the country is facing at the moment.
The former world no. 3 announced the news on her Instagram account to hundreds of thousands of followers, revealing also that the TopCourt will "donate the revenues generated to help Ukraine."
"My coaching lesson is now available on TopCourt. Top Court will donate the revenues generated to help Ukraine."
While helping her country off the court, Svitolina's season wasn't so successful on the tennis court, but that can be understandable to a certain degree. Her most recent result was second-round loss to Heather Watson at the 2022 Miami Open, after the 15th seed had a first-round bye.
