  "account": "Elina Svitolina has opened up about her current relationship with Gael Monfils, amid her split from him and the WTA Finals. The Ukrainian tennis player and Monfils, once a power couple, divorced in October after dating since 2018. However, Svitolina revealed that their relationship remains positive, with their primary focus being on their daughter Skai's happiness. Despite the divorce, Svitolina and Monfils maintain a good rapport, often discussing matters in the hours leading up to matches. The World No. 6, currently vying for a spot in the semifinals at the WTA Finals, spoke to journalist Christian Basnight. When asked if the year-end tournament serves as an escape from personal turmoil, Svitolina dismissed this notion, stating that negative comments on social media still weigh heavily on her. Svitolina has been advancing through the tournament, overcoming former World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the last Round Robin stage. She will face Linda Noskova in the semifinals, with the winner going on to battle either Mirra Andreeva or Jessica Pegula in the final.",
