The Frenchman Gael Monfils is presently dwelling on an eight-match winning streak on the ATP circuit. Last Sunday, he won a title in Montpelier and this Sunday, he will face Felix Auger-Aliassime for his second consecutive ATP crown on the men’s tour.

This week at ATP Rotterdam, the defending champion Monfils did not drop a set. The third seed was comfortably through to the finals. Amidst his success on the Dutch court, he missed the opportunity of spending time with his girlfriend Elina Svitolina on the occasion of Valentine’s day.

Gael Monfils’ Valentine’s day message to Elina Svitolina

On Valentine’s day, both of them are occupied with their professional lives. Svitolina was swinging her racquets in Asia, and Monfils was miles away from her in Europe. And the Frenchman was missing her.

“I already spoke to her (Elina Svitolina). I’m very blessed and happy to have a wonderful girlfriend like Elina. And definitely, I can’t wait to be with her,” Monfils shared on February 14 in Rotterdam.
