Monfils and Svitolina have been missing tennis for a while

Earlier in Marche, the Ukrainian tennis player announced a break from professional tennis after suffering from a back issue. Also, it took an emotional toll on her, as she was playing tennis despite the dire situation in her country. Later in May, she announced her pregnancy, which is the reason she has not been on the WTA tour recently. Right now, it’s uncertain when she will return to the tour and play regularly on the tour.
