Gael Monfils and Elina Svitolina are well-known to support each other from the player’s box whenever they can. However, this is not definitely possible this week as both are playing on 2 different continents.

Svitolina at the WTA Finals

Elina is the defending champion at the current WTA Finals and also the first one to qualify for the semifinal after winning the first 2 matches against Karolina Pliskova and Simona Halep. Elina is expected to face Bianca Andreescu in the 3rd match of the Round Robin. However, the Canadian is struggling with a knee injury, and she might not play at all.

Monfils chasing the ATP Finals

Gael is having a fantastic season, and he has the opportunity to qualify for the ATP Finals if he wins the next 2 matches in Paris and reach the semifinal. Gael will face Radu Albot and, if victorious, either Sascha Zverev or Denis Shapovalov in quarters.

This is how Elina is watching her boyfriend in action.
