‘Looking in the Same Direction’ – Gael Monfils, Elina Svitolina, and Others Share Their Valentine’s Day Stories

Tennis is known for being a relentless sport where the athletes barely get any time off, so for them, it makes any time they get with their loved ones even more special. One such occasion was Valentine’s day where people from the tennis community spread their love for their partners, and the world, from power couple – Elina Svitolina and Gael Monfils, to Diego Schwartzman, and a warm post from Naomi Osaka.

Gael Monfils and Elina Svitolina lead the Valentine’s charge

Svitolina and Monfils, who have been in a relationship since 2019 and got married in 2021, showered their love on each other. Gael has been away from competitive tennis since his round of 16 loss in France earlier this week; shared a sweet wedding photo with his wife.

The caption reads, “Loving is not just looking at each other, it’s looking in the same direction. Happy Valentine’s Day.”

While his wife, who is playing in Dubai, also shared their wedding picture with the caption, “THE ONE for my [heart emoji] Happy Valentine’s Day!”

Argentine tennis star Diego Schwartzman also wished his partner, Eugenia De Martino, with an adorable Valentine’s day wish on Instagram.
