The boyfriend enjoyed the boyfriend Gael Monfils, who will play his quarterfinal against Matteo Berrettini on Wednesday. Fifth-seeded Svitolina reached her first semi-final in the US Open, and said that the support of her boyfriend Monfils helped her during the tournament in New York.

"We are definitely pushing each other and we are trying to reach both the quarterfinals and now the semi-finals," says Svitolina according to Reuters, thinking that she has already reached there and that the press is now on her boyfriend.

"It's time for him to step up," she says with a laugh.

"Glad how I handled the press"

The Ukrainian was happy with how she handled such a big match in such a big arena.

"I'm happy with how I handled the press," says Svitolina, who decided on her third match ball. She also reached the semi-finals in Wimbledon this summer.

In the seminar, Svitolina will face either Serena Williams or Wang Qiang.
