Gael Monfils and Elina Svitolina are one of those couples who are in the same profession. Although being in the same sport does have some perks, it also comes with a lot of challenges. One of the biggest challenges the two of them endure is making time for their family and balancing the sport on the side.

Time management is difficult for them as they both have hectic schedules and more often than not, the tournaments fall at the same time for the WTA and ATP players. Consequently, they have difficult choices to make. Speaking more on this, Gael Monfils recently shared how they are trying to balance it all.

Gael Monfils shares the overwhelming pressure to balance professional and personal life days before the Paris Masters

After winning in Stockholm, Gael Monfils shared how he had to make a lot of sacrifices to be where he is right now. He also shared how he had to leave his daughter behind so that he could play. Monfils is still trying to figure out a lot of things. However, his words show that he is willing to be honest and effortful.

In a recent interview, Monfils was asked how he and his wife are going to manage the same situation the next year. To which he said, “I don’t have the answer yet. I don’t know how things will turn out, or what arrangements we will make. We don’t want to be selfish. The two of us are selfish, and that’s rule No. 1 when you are parents. So, there are a lot of questions to answer. How can we, the three of us, find a way and find the right momentum without leaving Skai on the line.”
