Now you know it’s not the same as it was!

Elina Svitolina is playing some of the best tennis of her career since coming back from maternity leave, catching the attention of none other than Harry Styles after reaching the quarterfinals at Wimbledon.

Svitolina was famously unable to attend Styles’ Love On Tour concert after she reached the second week of The Championships—offering her tickets up to a lucky fan—and the Grammy Award-winning musician reached out after she overcame rival Victoria Azarenka to reach her first Grand Slam quarterfinal since her return to action.

“Congratulations!” Styles commented on Instagram. “We have four shows to go, you’re welcome at any of them. Good luck with the rest of the tournament.”

Disappointed as the new mom was to miss his concert in Vienna, Svitolina had to admit she was having the time of her life at the All England Club, surviving Azarenka in a thrilling match tiebreaker to book a last-eight encounter with world No. 1 Iga Swiatek.

“After giving birth, this is the second happiest moment of my life!” she said on court after the match.

That still leaves room for Harry Styles to find himself in Svitolina's Top 3!
