Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games of Honey Moon in Tokyo

LAURA MARTA

Tennis makes a parenthesis in these Olympic days, framed with a shoehorn this tournament because points and money are distributed in the normal circuit, but the illusion of the players also grows when competing for a medal. Other more personal and important plans are even postponed, if possible, such as a honeymoon. Tennis rules, and Elina Svitolina and Gael Monfils are in Tokyo to defend their respective countries a few days after saying 'I do'.

“We are used to always having so many competitions, so there is no rest time. It was great to have the wedding, and now, with the coronavirus restrictions, it was amazing to bring the two families together. The honeymoon is planned for November!” Svitolina said.

The Ukrainian and the Frenchman showed that they got along more than well with the stories they shared through social networks, although they also went through a moment of tension when they decided to separate for a while. However, at the end of April, a few days before the start of the Mutua Madrid Open, both shared that they had gotten engaged and the Ukrainian did not hide at any time that ring that was going to unite her with the Frenchman for life. «Having another tennis player at home helps to overcome bad moments because the other has already gone through a similar situation. And we understand each other perfectly," the tennis player commented to this medium in those days of the engagement. So excited about this tournament that has just started with Monfils that she has already changed her last name to the Frenchman.

They are not the only tennis players who have seen their personal lives united by sharing so many trips, experiences, joys and disappointments. Steffi Graf and Andre Agassi, for example, together since 1999, or Roger Federer and Mirka Vavrinec, who met at the Sydney 2000 Olympic event.

Djokovic's Golden Slam

In Tokyo 2020, Svitolina and Monfils will spend their first days of marriage, waiting to enjoy their holidays in November, each focused on their goals. As is also Novak Djokovic, as the absolute leader of this reduced tennis planet, very reduced in its stars due to injuries or objections due to bubbles or other issues.

The number 1 is looking for that Golden Slam that he craves so much. For now, it's going well, with all three Grand Slams won to date. He wants gold and complete the circle with the US Open. He will, however, have many potential obstacles on his way: Dellin to begin with, and then Jan-Lennard Struff, Musetti or Davidovich, Rublev, Zverev until the possible final with Medvedev. For the Spanish, Muguruza has fallen into the box of Kvitova, Sabalenka and Barty, who debuts with Sara Sorribes. Carla Suárez makes her debut with Ons Jabeur. For Carreño, a difficult path: Sandgren, Cilic, Auger-Aliassime or Murray, Medvedev in the quarterfinals. But of illusion for that medal of the chosen ones Spain is plenty.
