The Roland Garros arena gets stuffed with an adorable layer of love! Elina Svitolina recently marked a continuation of her dominance by advancing to the third round. Securing a massive victory over the one-handed backhand player Diane Parry, the tennis star not only continued her run but also earned a position to demand support from the fans, not just for herself but for the love of her life.

Both Elena Svitolina and her husband Gael Monfils are proving to be strong on their respective runs. As Gael Monfils is set to play his second-round match on Court Philippe Chatrier, she has dedicated a major segment of her post-match speech to demand support for both of them.

“We don’t know how many years we’re still gonna be playing both on tour,” Svitolina said, on being asked about the presence of both her and Gael Monfils in the glorious event. Along with that, she also urged the French crowd to support their countryman with full enthusiasm. “I enjoy watching him and hopefully we will see you all tonight with mainstream support, its much needed for him,” she added.

The couple was first linked together in 2019, eventually getting married in July 2021 after a tumultuous break-up. Svitolina gave birth to their daughter Skai in Oct 2022 and returned to play next year as a new mom at the US Open.

Now Monfils is set to be in a showdown against the Italian Lorenzo Mussetti today. While his recent endeavors haven’t been fruitful, it is evident that backing from the home crowd could be a motivating factor for him. While both have been through ups and downs in their love story, the fact that Svitolina openly demands shared support for herself and her husband added another incident to their socially exposed love life.

Elina Svitolina backs Gael Monfils on his notable victory

This wasn’t the first time when Elina Svitolina came forward to back the love of her life. Both of them have crossed the hurdles together, along with supporting each other in times of need. During the Indian Wells this year, Gael Monfils managed to stay on the heavier side as he took down the former champion Cameron Norrie in an intense showdown.

Svitolina, who could not be physically present in the arena, became a keen spectator as she stuck to her couch in front of the TV screen. Soon after the Frenchman emerged victorious, his wife shared a story on Instagram, capturing the exact moment when Monfils performed the famous ‘Wakanda Forever’ celebration. Along with the snapshot, she also wrote a caption that said, “What a fight,” appreciating his performance.

The fans have closely followed the adorable relationship between Gael Monfils and Elina Svitolina. While both of them continue to back each other on their professional journey, it undoubtedly adds another layer to their love story.
