Elina Svitolina vs Nikola Bartunkova 2026 Rome Round of 16 WTA Match Highlights

When asked about her style and the hot shots and the bold plays, she says, yes, that's my game. I like to volley. Beautifully done by Svitolina. Wow. It's been quite the comeback from Svitolina in this opening set. Now that's too good. And after a slow start, Svitolina has won five games in a row. Really big boost here. She's taken full advantage of that little blip from Elina Svitolina. There's one. Made it. Smart play. Can hit it down the line as well. This is starting to be some tennis. So good. That's a sensational point. It's all about that consistency level. Playing same-less tennis. She wasn't going to pass up another opportunity there, Svitolina. That's an outstanding point from Vartunkova. It's a quality return. Nicely done. She's been so successful going forward to the net. It was just too big of a mountain to climb there for Vartunkova. Finishing with a flourish. Not always plain sailing today for the number seven seed and two-time champion. But she's into the last eight in Rome once again.
