Gael Monfils and Elina Svitolina had been dating for a while and now are engaged
Tennis pair Gael Monfils and Elina Svitolina finally confirmed that they were engaged after dating for a while.
Monfils, who is a former semi-finalist in the US and French Open, shared the news on his social media accounts.
Monfils might have shared the date for the upcoming wedding as he shared a July 2021 hashtag.
Svitolina, who also reached the semi-finals of the French Open and Wimbledon, also shared the news on her social media accounts.
The Ukraine star was more than happy to show off her engagement ring and also brought up the 2021 July date.
The pair of tennis stars had been in a relationship since 2019 and now their engagement has been confirmed.
This is great news for the pair and it will be interesting to see what else will be shared as the wedding date comes close.
Monfils has struggled with injuries in the past and has struggled for consistency too. However, the Frenchman will still go down as one of the top talents over the past two decades, despite not winning a Grand Slam in his career.
Svitolina, for her part, was in action at the 2021 Miami Open. She reached the semi-final of the competition but the fifth-ranked star was unable to reach the final.
Ashleigh Barty, the top seed, won that clash and then the final too. The Ukraine star will also have her sights on the upcoming Grand Slams and it will be interesting to see how he does in those.
For now, Svitolina and Monfils would be planning for their grand day. They have been going strong for a while and we wish the pair the best for their future.
