Elina Svitolina has made a winning return to Auckland, and she will be keen to keep this strong start going throughout the week. The Ukrainian last competed here during her debut campaign in 2024 and produced a strong run by making the final.
In her first match back, Svitolina defeated Varvara Gracheva in straight sets. She dropped only four games as she played her first fixture of 2026. Svitolina had a strong run in 2025.
She won 36 of 51 matches and finished the year ranked 14th in the WTA, her best year-end placing in five years.

It was her first fixture since ending the previous campaign back in October. Boulter had a shaky 2025 season. She ended the campaign with a 22-22 record and finished ranked outside the WTA’s top 100 after starting the campaign ranked 23rd.
Boulter lost to Svitolina when they first met, which was at the 2020 Australian Open.
