French veteran Gaël Monfils rolled back the years to stun the USA’s No. 4 seed Taylor Fritz in the third round of the Australian Open on Saturday, winning 3-6 7-5 7-6(1) 6-4 after three hours and eight minutes of scintillating tennis.

Gael Monfils has joined Roger Federer as the only men to reach the Australian Open’s fourth round at age 38 or older since the tournament field expanded to 128 players in 1988.

After his historic win, Monfils returned to Margaret Court Arena and sat in the stands to watch his wife, Svitolina, eliminate the women's No. 4 seed, two-time major finalist Jasmine Paolini 2-6, 6-4, 6-0 at night.

On the same day, his wife Elina Svitolina beat WTA world No. 4 Jasmine Paolini 2-6 6-4 6-0 to progress into the round-of-16 at Melbourne Park. For years, the French tennis star spoke about his big desire to win at least one Grand Slam before retiring.

There is no doubt that the Frenchman has also been helped by the fact that he has found the right serenity off the court. Gael has created a beautiful family with his colleague Elina Svitolina, and the two champions support each other at all times.

Elina Svitolina said the supportive presence of husband Gael Monfils meant a lot after the tennis power couple made shockwaves in sync at the Australian Open on Saturday, knocking out the women's and men's fourth seeds as they both reached the last 16 of the singles.
