Svitolina withdraws from WTA 500 Berlin, Kostyuk enters main draw
The lineup for the WTA 500 in Berlin has been known for several weeks and is very exciting. The top players in the world have decided to step up their preparation for Wimbledon in the German capital, including Sabalenka, Gauff, Pegula (the defending champion), Paolini, Andreeva, Keys, and Zheng, all of whom will be present in Germany.
However, one top 15 player initially registered for the tournament has decided to withdraw, and that is Elina Svitolina. The Ukrainian, ranked 13th in the world, is still expected to participate in the WTA 500 tournament in Bad Homburg the following week, just one week before the start of the London Grand Slam.
With this withdrawal, Svitolina's compatriot Marta Kostyuk benefits by entering the main draw directly. The world No. 26 was initially set to compete in the qualifiers.
