Immediately after switching to the ground, Svitolina scored a semi-final in Stuttgart. There were expectations in the betting tips that she would be able to build on her success in Madrid.

In Rome, the Ukrainian tennis player played with the little-known Italian Basiletti at the start and scored a confident victory with a score of 6-1, 6-3.
