Revisiting the married life of Gael Monfils and Elina Svitolina

Monfils and Svitolina are two of the most celebrated couples on the tour. The two married each other in July last year. They took to their social media handles to announce the big news. However, their story dates back to 2019 when the two first met.

Paris is said to be the most romantic city in the world by many. What is better than having your first meeting in the city of love? The two had a similar story. In one of the episodes of ATP’s Crosscourt series, the two discussed the first meeting they had. As per Monfils, he first called out Svitolina to hang out with his friends.

Recalling the time, he said, ““I do, it was in Paris actually. Yeah I think we just knew a little bit together. You went to Paris, I was in Paris at that time, both for a different reason actually so that was kind of funny. And then I texted you to say that I think I am going out with some friends, if you want to have a drink with us. And then you definitely say yes. Of course!,”

The two met for the first time with Monfils’s friends around. However, in spite of being around them, the two immediately felt a connection and have been along ever since. Going strong together for two long years, the couple had a slight low patch in February 2021 when the two announced separation. However, as they say, true love cannot be separated. The two announced being back together after just a month of separation. Going ahead, the two married each other in July. Ever since then, the two have been into each other, and inseparable.
