The most famous tennis couple on the tour is no longer together. Elina Svitolina and Gael Monfils have decided to break up.
The WTA world No.5 Svitolina shared the news through Instagram Stories, saying that love is still there and they are still best friends, but it was necessary for them to take some time apart and find space. The Ukrainian added that her statement, signed “Elina & Gael”, is the last comment we’ll get from them on this topic. Monfils made no announcements on his social media profiles.
Svitolina and Monfils started dating in 2019 and they were very open about their relationship right from the start, to the point that they even had a joint Instagram account (now deleted).
