The Ukrainian player Elina Svitolina’s comeback after six months after giving birth to her daughter has been making all the right noises. Notably, she has become an inspiration to all on the Tour. Furthermore, the “supermom” has been showing amazing grit and determination, proving that she is a champion.
Many of the WTA players have spoken about her strength in balancing a family and following her passion and succeeding in it. Elina has three tattoos, but none of them are related to the sport. Let’s have a look at her tattoos and what they mean. She has a total of three tattoos: one on the corner of her right hand, one on her upper left thigh, and one on her inner wrist.
On her right hand, she has tattooed ‘carpe diem,’ which signifies living in the present. This is quite a common tattoo seen on many people. She revealed that this tattoo is very personal to her. The most visible is the tattoo on her upper left thigh, which is a geometrical portrait of a tiger. A Tiger tattoo is known to signify strength, courage, and confidence. She had this tattoo done in 2017, and it was revealed she had modeled for a Ukrainian magazine called ‘XXL’.
The other tattoo, which is a symbol of ‘’OM’’ on her wrist, symbolizes the primordial sound of creation. Elina said that there have been some tough moments in her life, and she is very proud of the way she has handled everything.

Come back of Elina after injury and giving birth
After giving birth and coming back on court, she has been showing that her strength matches her Tiger tattoo. She was off the Tour for a year. That’s not all; the tennis professional further revealed that her back issues are making it difficult for her to play, and she was struggling not only physically but mentally too.
This break soon turned into maternity leave as she announced the birth of her baby girl, Skai. She won her first title of the year after her comeback at the Internationaux de Strasbourg tournament for the second time, her first one was in 2020. She knocked out World No. 1 Iga Swiatek in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon, booking her spot in the final four of the prestigious tournament.
