They began their season in Australia. Unfortunately, Gael lost in the opening round and Elina did have a good run until the fourth round when she exited the event.

Now that the couple is getting hitched, we wish them all the best. However, it will be interesting to see how they perform for the remainder of the season. They should be expected to return for the US Open Series.
