The duo, who made their relationship public in January 2019, posted a video for fans on their joint Instagram account. Svitolina is seen saying "not feeling it today" before proceeding to smash tennis balls at her French boyfriend. Meanwhile, Monfils is shown nonchalantly checking his phone in front of a wall as the balls hit around him. Although many come close, none actually hit him, which is a testament to both Svitolina's accuracy and Monfils's trust in his Ukrainian girlfriend.
Svitolina recently announced that she would be skipping this year's US Open due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although he is yet to make an official announcement, Monfils's name was notably absent from the US Open provisional entry list.
