Elina Svitolina conquer's of the TEB BNP Paribas Istanbul Cup 2017

ISTANBUL, Turkey
 Elina Svitolina took home a tour-leading third title of 2017, ousting No.6 seed Elise Mertens, 6-2, 6-4 to win the TEB BNP Paribas Istanbul Cup.

“This was something very different," she said in her post-match press conference. "Last time I played on clay, I got injured in the early part of the season, so it was difficult for me to come back on this surface and trust my body and my legs. This year, I prepared better, took more time off, and I was very happy that physically, I could make it through this week.

“Clay is very tough, and it can kill your body if you’re not prepared.”
