Elina Svitolina and Gael Monfils

Elina Svitolina and Gael Monfils are getting ready for the upcoming US Open practicing together as usual.

The golden tennis couple is used to take advantage of the joint events (ATP, WTA, or slams) to share the practice court and have fun.

Svitolina is currently ranked no.5, and she is among the top favorites to win the last slam of the year. The Ukranian had a fantastic run in Wimbledon where she was stopped only by a superb Simona Halep.

Ranked no.13, Gael is also in fine form, but unfortunately he keeps on struggling with all sorts of injuries. In Montreal, he had to concede a walkover in the semifinal to Rafael Nadal as he wasn’t fit to compete after winning a grueling quarter against Roberto Bautista Agut.

Here Elina posts some videos of one of her “weird” training with Gael.
