Monfils, Svitolina support each other, and a good cause

Published Feb 05, 2019

Gael Monfils and Elina Svitolina went public with their relationship during the Australian Open in peak millenial style with a join Instagram account.

While they haven't posted any "Insta official" photos on their respective individual Instagram pages, they have piled on the couples photos on G.E.M.S. (yes, it's their initials).

Monfils stuck around in Melbourne to support his girlfriend on her way to the quarterfinals.

This week, Svitolina is returning the favor as she joined the world No. 22 in Sofia. He seems to be enjoying her company as he won his opener over Viktor Troicki in under an hour.

In between playing tennis in the far-flung corners of the globe, the newest tennis "it" couple went on a winter vacation together and made a pitstop in Paris, which happens to be where Monfils was born.

In an Instagram Story Q&A, they revealed they are living in Geneva (Monfils' current residence), which is somewhat middle ground between Svitolina's home nation of Ukraine and Monfils' native France.

It's not all about them though, as Monfils and Svitolina are also joining forces for a good cause. They're donating $100 for every ace they hit in two of their events to a children's hospital in Ukraine.

Monfils is the No. 7 seed at the Sofia Open. Svitolina is next scheduled to play in Doha, where she accepted a last-minute wildcard.
