In between Twitter posts about four policemen–with guns drawn–breaking into her Indian Wells hotel room where she was staying with boyfriend Gael Monfils (there were reported gunshots in the area), and a tropical poolside pic of the duo (above), Ukrainian tennis player Elina Svitolina announced that she will launch her new foundation at T Bar M Racquet Club today.

Dallas might seem like an unlikely location, except what with Serena Williams opening a pop-up here and John Isner making his home here, it’s like we’re turning into the new Palm Beach. Svitolina also has an existing Texas connection: she has volunteered at the Bush Tennis Center in Midland as part of the Ace Outreach Program. George and Laura have already told her congrats.
