Mladenovic and Svitolina support boyfriends in Paris

In the Roland Garros fourth-round contest between Dominic Thiem and Gael Monfils, there were two very familiar faces siting in the stands on Monday. Kristina Mladenovic and Elina Svitolina supported their men—respectively—as they battled for the spot in the quarterfinals. Thiem toppled Monfils, 6-4, 6-4, 6-2.

Svitolina, who fell to the 2016 French Open champion Garbine Muguruza in the third round, has said that she has a hard time watching Monfils play.

“I can say it’s much, much tougher than being on court,” the Ukrainian said. “You see things differently, and I think for me I learned a lot from those moments when I’m just sitting and watching him.”

Svitolina and Monfils went public with their relationship during the Australian Open in January with a joint Instagram account.

As for Mladenovic and Thiem, they confirmed the dating rumors in January of 2018 by going “Instagram official". They posted the same photo with the same hashtags, including #TheOne. The couple been going strong ever since.

At one point during the match when the camera zoomed in on Mladenovic, the commentator made a blunder by saying she was part of the Monfils camp, and hilarity ensued between the two commentators:

Mladenovic was knocked out in the singles second round by Petra Martic, but is in the doubles quarterfinals.
