Elina Svitolina and Gael Monfils were recently photographed by Katya Nikolaychuk for a feature in the Ukrainian Jetsetter portal, two months after the WTA star opened up about their relationship for the BBC Sport website.
As professional tennis players, Svitolina and Monfils have known each other for years, but there wasn’t much going on between them in the past, as the Ukrainian was in a long-term relationship. Then, at the end of last year, when Svitolina won the WTA Finals in Singapore, she went to celebrate her victory in Paris, Monfils’ birthplace.
