At the Australian Open this year, Monfils crashed out in the opening round. After the match, he shed a few tears during the post-match press conference. It’s been over a year since the Frenchman won a competitive match.

After Elina’s opening round win in Melbourne, she wrote ‘Gael’ on the camera and blew a kiss to show him some support in a difficult phase in his career.

A slow start to the season

At the first Grand Slam event of the year, Svitolina registered impressive wins before going down to American tennis player Jessica Pegula. It was not her best performance at the event. Previously, in 2018 and 2019, she had reached the quarterfinal stage of the tournament which remains her best showing there yet.
