Gael Monfils and his girlfriend Elina Svitolina are the “golden couple” of tennis. Both are in the top10 and they have high hopes in 2020. However, things are going in the opposite direction for them this season.
Gael has a great 16-2 win-loss record this year and he has already won 2 titles in Montpellier and Rotterdam. In addition, he is now in the semifinal in Dubai where he will face Novak Djokovic.
On the other side, Elina had a depressing (for her standards) 6-6 win-loss record in 2020 and she has lost the past 3 matches. In Doha, she was dismantled by Amanda Anisimova in 59 minutes.
After losing early in Qatar, Elina went back to Dubai to see his boyfriend competing in the prestigious ATP500. Svitolina will play next week in Monterrey where she will be seeded no.1. Hoping for a better run.
