Monfils praises girlfriend Svitolina and coach for his results

Gael is having a rather solid 2019 and he thinks that his relationship with Elina Svitolina and his new coach are decisive for his resurgence

Gael Monfils and Elina Svitolina

Gael Monfils is having a rather good 2019. The Frenchman has a solid 20-6 win-loss record this year, and he has won the prestigious ATP500 in Rotterdam.

Currently rank no.17, the Frenchman is no.9 in the Year to Date rankings, and he has a real shot at qualifying for the ATP Finals in London.

Liam Smith and Elina Svitolina a big help

Gael is currently playing the French Open where he reached the 3rd round without dropping a single set so far. When asked about the reasons for his excellent season, Gael replied

“My love life is going very, very well. But I reckon it’s probably more due to my coach than my girlfriend.”

Gael has started partnering with Liam Smith at the beginning of this year.

Next vs. Hoang

Gael will face another Frenchman in the 3rd round as he will lock horns with Antoine Hoang for the first time.
