"How shall I say? We don't want to be selfish": Gael Monfils on making sacrifices alongside wife Elina Svitolina for daughter Skai

French tennis star Gael Monfils has opened up about how he and his wife Elina Svitolina are sacrificing for their daughter Skai.

The couple has been together for a long time and they became parent in October 2022.

Despite both being professional and active tennis players, Monfils stated that they have found a way to ensure that their hectic schedule will not impact the upbringing of their daughter Skai.

"That's one of the first questions I need to find an answer to, and I don't have the answer yet. With Elina [Svitolina], we don't have the answer yet," he said.

"We'll just try to enjoy this tournament and we'll think in one match at a time. I have no answer for the rest of the year, for next year. I don't know how things will turn out, what arrangements we will make.

"What's funny about the situation, I'm sure you understand, but for the fans to understand, we are traveling, both of us, we are making sacrifices, her [Svitolina] and I alike.

"How shall I say? We don't want to be selfish. The two of us are selfish, and that's rule No. 1 when you're parents. So there is a lot of questions to answer. How can we, the three of us, find a way and find the right momentum without leaving out Skai on the line.”
