Svitolina cooks up a tapas storm in Madrid



Elina Svitolina stepped into a new arena, the kitchen, in Madrid—where she'll be a huge favorite to capture her career 12th crown.

The Ukrainian made a selection of tapas, giving herself just the right amount of fuel necessary to kick around a soccer ball and answer some questions during media day in the Spanish capital city.

The 23-year-old enters the Premier Mandatory ranked No. 4 and opens her campaign against Alize Cornet on Saturday. Surprisingly, Svitolina has never won more than one match in Madrid in four appearances.
