Gael Monfils and Elina Svitolina recently announced their split on Instagram

Monfils and Svitolina had been together since 2019, giving their fans serious couple goals with their mushy posts.

However, it wasn’t clear from their post if it was a break-up or a temporary phase of conscious uncoupling.

“Gael Monfils and I decided to take a break in our relationship. The decision was incredibly difficult because we still have love for each other,” the couple posted.

They said they won’t be commenting anymore, asking everyone to respect their “privacy”.

While speculations started to abound on what could have led the couple to split, one likely reason that was put forward was the Frenchman’s diminishing returns on court in the recent past.

Going into the Australian Open on a five-match losing streak, Monfils made an opening-round exit after losing to rising Finnish star Emil Ruusuvuori in five sets.

His former girlfriend fell at the fourth round of the Australian Open but followed up with a quarter-final appearance in Qatar.
