Svitolina revealed how much she spends annually on her tennis team.

Ukrainian tennis player Elina Svitolina from Kharkiv revealed that maintaining her team and preparing for tournaments throughout the year requires a significant amount of money.

This was reported by "Sport.ua", as conveyed by "Dumka".

According to media sources, the amount ranges from $400,000 to $600,000.

"Currently, this is a more or less fixed amount. I spend approximately $400,000 to $600,000 a year on team salaries, logistics, and recovery programs. It’s difficult to 'cut' [expenses]. There are set prices for coaches and the team. This is a substantial amount that needs to be covered; it’s an integral part of my career," the athlete shared.

The well-known tennis player emphasized that these are essential investments that cannot be avoided.

"You have to invest in yourself and do everything possible to maintain the ability to play at a high level. It’s not a matter of choice; without this, it’s hard to achieve anything," Svitolina stated.
