Chris Evert sends congratulations to Svitolina and Monfils on first Christmas as a family

Chris Evert congratulated Gael Monfils and Elina Svitolina on their first Christmas as a family, a positive after a very long and exhausting year for the duo.

2022 was a tricky year for Gael Monfils and Elina Svitolina but it finished on a very high note as they celebrated their first Christmas as a family. Monfils started the year extremely well in Australia but dealt with several injuries throughout the year. He did not play since the US Open stretch but hopes to get back to a good level in 2023.

Svitolina did not play well to start the year as the country was invaded and eventually stopped playing altogether due to her pregnancy. It went well and she gave birth to a baby daughter some time ago and the family just celebrated their first Christmas as a family. They marked it with a photo and a message.

Evert responded:

"Beautiful! A big Congratulations to the three of you!"
