Elina Svitolina, one of the most prominent tennis players on the circuit, recently shared a moving reflection on the obstacles she and her husband, Gaël Monfils, had to overcome to be together. Together for years, the couple had to face not only the difficulties of their respective careers, but also racial discrimination and social prejudices.

Tears in the eyes, Svitolina told how, in the past, Monfils and she had been strongly criticized and rejected for their relationship because of their skin color. “We have often been told that we could not be together, that our relationship was unacceptable because of our differences. People were looking at us differently and we had to fight against many prejudices, ”said the visibly moved tennis player.

Despite adversity, Elina and Gael have always held good and decided to be together, whatever the others think. “What has united us the most is that we have always been there for each other, even in the most difficult moments. No one was able to break our feelings for each other, “added Svitolina.

Despite criticism and obstacles, the couple was an example of love and perseverance, proving that true love does not know borders. In his moving declaration, Svitolina also took the opportunity to thank her fans and all those who supported them over the years.

“Thank you to everyone who supported us. Without your love and your encouragement, we could not have gone so far. We are so grateful to have people who believe in our love and in our history, “said Svitolina, the broken voice.

The couple had to face difficulties, not only on the ground, but also in the outside world, but their love came out of each test. Throughout their relationship, they have proven that prejudices and social barriers do not have their place when there is a true, unconditional and imprint of mutual respect.

The message of Svitolina and Monfils is clear: love does not know any borders, and when two people support themselves, there is nothing that they can overcome.
