Tennis United: CrossCourt continues with its first episode of season two featuring Gael Monfils and Elina Svitolina.
Tennis' glamour couple Gael Monfils and Elina Svitolina recently tied the knot and the newlyweds spoke about relationships in tennis. The CrossCourt format will feature numerous episodes of players talking to one another. One will be an ATP player with the other one being a WTA player. In the first Gael Monfils and Elina Svitolina were the guests.
Fittingly the topic was relationships and Svitolina kicked things off by asking Gael what relationships were for him:
"You have first of all a big relationship with your coach and then for me, it's easier because I'm with you. It's a different type of relationship. I found my soulmate in my sport."
Svitolina admitted that it was tough to balance career and relationships but it's easier when he is also a tennis player. She also joked:
"The bad part is when your partner is training at 7 in the morning and someone loves to have a 12 hour sleep. Mostly it's me training really early."
Monfils also recalled texting to ask Svitolina if she would join him and his friends for a drink. "And then you definitely said 'yes'...
of course. Svitolina replied after a laugh:
"No, no, no, no... At first,
I was... I didn't want to do it. I was jet-lagged and it was tough to
stay awake."
They also spoke about the famous proposal in the mountains and you can see all of this and more below.

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
