Alex de Minaur and Katie Boulter are expected to be the tennis power couple of 2024.
One of the best players going into the Australian Open is Alex de Minaur, and his romance with Katie Boulter, the top-ranked player in the United Kingdom, has the potential to become one of the tennis tales of 2024.

De Minaur and Boulter have been pleased to discuss their affair in public, despite criticism for the intimate nature of the reporter’s inquiries during the press conference.

Last year, Boulter remarked, “We’re on the same page when it comes to our priorities; tennis is where we want to be and the rest will follow.”
“He is the best support system I have; I couldn’t ask for anything better.”
Because they are in a unique position to comprehend the emotions they experience on a tennis court, De Minaur has also talked about how Boulter is helping him step up his game.
“I’ve always thought she’s such a high caliber player, and her growth has been incredible,” de Minaur remarked.
“She has that confidence in herself and her accomplishments.
