Elina Svitolina’s husband will play a match with the main tennis showman
french tennis player Gaelic Monfils and Australia Nick Kyrgios On November 9, he will hold an exhibition match in Mexico City (Mexico).
The two best entertainers in tennis have played against each other twice in official matches. In 2014, the Frenchman won the match between the teams in the Davis Cup, and two years later took revenge in the semi-finals of the ATP tournament in Tokyo (Japan), Australia.
This season, Monfils took the ATP title in Adelaide and reached the quarter-finals of the Australian Open. Earlier in May, Gael took a break from performances due to a heel spur, so he missed Roland Garros and Wimbledon. In August, the Frenchman played at the Masters in Montreal and withdrew in the third round match due to a leg injury. Since then, the tennis player has not participated in tournaments.
Nick Kyrgios had almost a full season and missed (as always) only the European clay series, including the French Open. The Australian played in the final of the Grand Slam tournament (Wimbledon) for the first time this year and reached the quarterfinals of the US Open. Nick also has three semifinals in ATP tournaments and a title in Washington.
There will also be a doubles match between Colombians Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah and local players Santiago Gonzalez and Gerardo Lopez at the Tennis Showdown exhibition tournament.
Keep in mind that Gael Monfils and his wife Elina Svitolina are expecting a baby.
