VIDEO: Svitolina issues challenge to Federer and he fails it hurting Monfils in the process

Elina Svitolina made a viral video a while back with Gael Monfils and challenged Federer to replicate it but the Swiss ace ended up hurting Monfils.

Elina Svitolina and Gael Monfils made a viral video some time ago where Monfils was leaning on a wall pretending to be texting on a phone while Svitolina was hitting balls beside him not hitting him once. During a practice session the duo had with Roger Federer, Svitolina issued Federer the challenge to replicate it.

Federer was happy to try it but his delivery was not on point and he ended up hurting Monfils in the process. Svitolina and Federer laughed it off but Monfils did not seem so enthusiastic by it. It seems the Frenchman was expecting the tennis legend to be more precise.

He was much more cooperative in the comments below the video where he posted a heart emoji with several laughing ones. All three of the players are in Geneva preparing for the upcoming Roland Garros.

Federer tried to play it off as a joke saying: "This one is behind the scenes. This one does not count." Check out the funny video posted by Svitolina on her Instagram page.
