Elina Svitolina hailed a super Saturday for her and husband Gael Monfils at Melbourne Park after both sent World No. 4 players packing from the Australian Open.
 
Ukraine’s Svitolina beat Jasmine Paolini 2-6, 6-4, 6-0 in the third round of the women’s draw just hours after Frenchman Monfils stunned American Taylor Fritz on the same Margaret Court Arena in the men’s singles. “It’s really a great day for us today, beating top-four players and playing great tennis,” said the 30-year-old Svitolina. 

The 38-year-old Monfils was watching from Svitolina’s on-court coaching box as the couple both reached the last 16 of the first Grand Slam of the year.
