Tennis’ hot couples Elina Svitolina and Gael Monfils finally tied the knot on July 16 at a private ceremony in Geneva, Switzerland. After dating each other for more almost two years, the tennis power couple got engaged in April 2021.

The couple even shared pictures of their private ceremony, which saw a few near and dear ones in attendance. While Svitolina posted random clicks of their wedding, Monfils shared a picture of French tennis players—Gilles Simon, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Richard Gasquet. It is widely known that the French bunch generally stick together at most tournaments.

In what was arguably the happiest moment of the Frenchman’s life, Monfils couldn’t expresses his emotions into words. He even joked, that winning the French Open would be easier winning than putting his emotions into words.

“Usually I’m very comfortable but. Pu **** I, I have a lot of emotions. It’s a lot harder than I thought. Finally, winning Roland may be easier,” said Monfils during his speech.
