Who is Jo-Wilfried Tsonga’s wife Noura El Shwekh?
ORIGINALLY from Switzerland, Noura met the French tennis star in 2014.
She was first spotted watching the big-serving Tsonga in a Davis Cup semi-final in Paris, before Noura frequently started to accompany him on the ATP tour.
The pair like to keep their private life away from the spotlight and only share the odd snap with their Instagram followers.
But Noura is often seen court side and is a regular at Grand Slams.
When did the pair marry?
THE couple tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in June 2018.
It was held in a French château in the Beaujolais region of the country, with several tennis stars in attendance.
Noura posted to thousands of Instagram followers: “Changing my name for the one I love more and more everyday”.
