What’s that they say about absence making the heart grow fonder?
Elina Svitolina explored the paradox of creative limitation to hilarious effect as her TikToks keep coming through quarantine—and a mandated separation from boyfriend Gael Monfils.
Not even the Australian Open’s COVID-19 bubble can keep “g.e.m.s.” from shining as Svitolina took to her favorite platform to play the “This or That?” game with Monfils in absentia.
The world No. 5 ingeniously duck-taped a laptop—sporting various images of Monfils—to a pillow as the two chose between a slew of crucial ultimatums, like whether she can pull Monfils from his beloved Twitch streams.
Quarantine has only just begun for players in Australia and will last two weeks.
