Gael Monfils and Elina Svitolina get married after engagement in April

Tennis power couple Gael Monfils and Elina Svitolina are now husband and wife after announcing their marriage on social media on Friday.

The couple had a private ceremony in Geneva, Switzeland after he proposed to her in April this year. “Best day of my life,” Svitolina said on Instagram, as she shared photos of the wedding.

“Last day as my Fiancé,” Monfils wrote after revealing a handful of pictures of social media.

The World No. 6 wore a gown by American designer Virgil Abloh, while Monfils wore a custom Off-White tuxedo with a lavender twist to it.

The couple have been together for 2018, despite announcing that they are taking a break in January this year.

Monfils, ranked 17 in the world, was knocked out in the second round of the Wimbledon Championships this year. His wife, Svitolina was also shocked in the same round losing to Magda Linette in straight sets.

They will look to get back to the court for the North American swing, which is the latter half of the ATP and WTA season.
