Tennis players Svitolina and Monfils had a daughter

“It was a night!!! Ladies and gentlemen, give a warm welcome to Skaï Monfils. I can’t thank my husband enough for spending this unforgettable moment with me,” the 27-year-old native of Odessa, who married the French tennis player Monfils last year, wrote on Twitter July. The message was accompanied by a photo of the fingers of both spouses in the child’s palm.

The former third-ranked player in the world has not played since the end of March due to health reasons, and has repeatedly made it known that the war in her native country is destroying her psychologically. In May, she announced her career break and the expected birth of her first child.
