Elina Svitolina into final of the Huajin securities wta elite trophy zhuhai 2016

ZHUHAI, China
Elina Svitolina  booked a battle against Petra kvitova in the final of the Huajin securities wta elite trophy zhuhai coming back from a set down to oust the No.1 seed Konta.

Svitolina, who last year reached the semifinals here in Zhuhai, had vowed to go one round farther, and the Ukrainian made good on that promise with her rollercoaster victory over Konta 2-6, 6-1, 6-4.

But with Konta fully in control of the first set, the final looked far away from Svitolina, who was broken twice as Konta seemed set to cruise through the match.
