With her match in the bag, Elina Svitolina can shift her focus back on husband Gaël Monfils, who is a win away from joining her in the Australian Open quarterfinals on Monday.
After opening play on Rod Laver Arena with a 6-4, 6-1 victory over Veronika Kudermetova, the No. 28 seed plans a trip to Margaret Court Arena to watch Monfils—whom she married in 2021 —take on Ben Shelton for a spot in the last eight.
“Hopefully courtside!” she said when asked where she plans to watch the hotly anticipated fourth-round clash. I have time, a little bit, to do my recovery, and then we’ll put all energy towards his match.
“It’s going to be an epic one, so hopefully you guys can give him big support!” she added, hyping up the crowd.
Ukrainian tennis star Elina Svitolina will be courtside to cheer on her husband Gaël Monfils as he competes in the Australian Open. Svitolina, who is currently ranked No. 6 in the world, is hoping that Monfils will join her in the quarterfinals of the tournament.
The couple, who got married in July 2019, have been a constant source of support for each other on and off the court. Svitolina has been vocal about her admiration for Monfils’ talent and work ethic, while Monfils has praised Svitolina’s determination and competitive spirit.
With both players in top form and determined to make their mark on the Australian Open, fans are eagerly anticipating the possibility of seeing them compete together in the quarterfinals. Whether they will be able to achieve this feat remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure – Svitolina will be there every step of the way to support her husband.
