Ukrainian Elina Svitolina bounces No. 1 Iga Swiatek at Wimbledon: 'War made me stronger'

Ukrainian Elina Svitolina proved her off court absence hasn't affected her grit as she knocked out No. 1 seed Iga Swiatek at the Wimbledon Championships on Tuesday.
Ryan Gaydos is a senior editor for Fox News Digital.
Svitolina only returned to the tennis court three months ago as her home country dealt with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. She’s playing with a heavy heart with her mind on her family back home and her daughter, Skai, who was born in October.
"War made me stronger and also made me mentally stronger. Mentally, I don’t take difficult situations as, like, a disaster, you know? There are worse things in life. I’m just more calmer," Svitolina said.
