Cologne (SID) – There have been a number of prominent marriages in tennis in recent decades: Steffi Graf and Andre Agassi, for example, Mirka and Roger Federer or Chris Evert and John Lloyd. Maybe not quite as famous, but Jelena Switolina and Gael Monfils will also be married soon.
“She said yes,” wrote Monfils, number one in France and number 14 in the world, on Instagram. In addition, the couple posted the lush, sparkling engagement ring on the left hand of the fifth in the world from Ukraine. “Yes! At the start of our forever “, wrote Switolina.
The two were together in 2019, but had separated again in the meantime. Even then, Switolina had declared that the separation was very difficult for both her and Monfils, “because we still had love for each other”. Which is now evidently all over again.
