Tennis power couple Elina Svitolina and Gael Monfils to divorce

Ukrainian tennis player Elina Svitolina and French tennis player Gael Monfils have announced they are divorcing. Svitolina described the decision as 'the hardest thing I have ever had to tell the person I love,' citing the profound impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine as a contributing factor to the split. The couple, who married in 2021 and have a daughter together, were one of the most high-profile couples in professional tennis.
