“The Reason I Breathe”: Gael Monfils Os Heads Over Heels for Wife Elina Svitolina on Her Birthday

Tennis players Gael Monfils and Elina Svitolina have been together for a fair amount of time. As time has gone by, the bond shared by these two athletes has gone from strength to strength. Not long ago, the lovebirds got married and couldn’t contain their excitement.

Today, it is the birthday of Elina Svitolina and her husband Gael Monfils was all praise for her. The Frenchman confessed that she is the main reason why he breathes. He also went on to add that he wouldn’t wish his life to be in any other way as compared to the way it is at the moment.

The 35-year-old stated, “Happy Birthday my Love Elina Svitolina. From the day you walked into my life, you’re the reason I breathe. You are the stars in my sky. I wouldn’t want this any other way. You’re the Love of my life.”

Gael Monfils’ poor run at the Grand Slam events 

Coming on to tennis, both players were seen at the Wimbledon Championships. They underperformed as they failed to make it to the second week. Prior to that, they were seen at the French Open. The local boy lost in the second round, whereas his fiance lost in the third round. 

They began their season in Australia. Unfortunately, Gael lost in the opening round and Elina did have a good run until the fourth round when she exited the event.

Monfils had a great run during the US Open Series events. However, in the US Open, he lost to Italian youngster Jannik Sinner in an epic five-set thriller. On the other hand, Svitolina came as far as the quarterfinal. Unfortunately, she lost to the eventual champion and teenager Emma Raducanu. We wish the married couple the very best for the remainder of the season.
