Australian Open > Elina Svitolina-Monfils, after her victory in the third round: “When we come home with Gaël, we completely detach ourselves from it all. We just enjoy our time as a family, as mother and father with our daughter

A few hours after the magnificent victory of her husband, Gaël Monfils, against Taylor Fritz, in the third round of the Australian Open, Elina Svitolina also defied the predictions by taking 4^e world player, Jasmine Paolini.

Asked about her relationship with the Frenchman, the Ukrainian explained how lucky she was to be able to share with someone who perfectly understands what she is going through.

“In most big tournaments we are together, we support each other. It means a lot to us to have someone who understands what we are going through. It's a very nice feeling for me personally. I don't know about other players. For me, it's nice to come into a room and have a little chat about the matches, about the matches to come. When we come home, we completely detach ourselves from it all. We are just enjoying our time as a family, as a mother and father with our daughter. Yes, it’s truly a unique bond that we have. I'm very happy with the way we handled these things. It's really a big day for us today (Saturday), beating top 4 players and playing good Tennis. »
