Like any other person on the planet, tennis players are not immune to romance, no matter how much they resist. Many tennis players often end up together after a while. Some examples are Roger and Mirka Federer and, Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf. We might have another tennis marriage on our hands as fans saw Katie Boulter show signs of a possible engagement as she watched the bout between Alex De Minaur and Andrey Rublev.
De Minaur lost his fourth-round Australian Open bout against the Russian player Andrey Rublev but found another reason to be happy. If the signs are reliable, we might be looking at nuptials of the two stars.
Is Katie Boulter trying to give us a hint of what’s to come?

Although the moment has created much speculation, the Australian and the Briton players have not made any news public so far. Any news at the moment will be speculative and, hence, should be taken with a grain of salt.

However, the two players have been dating since early 2020, and we cannot completely rule out the possibility of an engagement either. Regardless of the possibility of the news, De Minaur will not leave the Aussie slam unhappy. Prior to the slam, he was asked about when he plans on proposing to his girlfriend.
De Minaur shares proposal plans
Comedian Ash Williams posed De Minaur with the question of proposing to his girlfriend before the first slam of the year began. De Minaur replied, “Jeez. Putting me on the spot here.” He further said, “Yeah, it’s not on the cards just yet. Not ruling it out. For the time being, I’m going to try to focus on playing tennis and then we’ll think about the off-court activities.”

Williams then asked him if he would do it if he won the Australian Open. De Minaur replied by saying it would be a good way to celebrate. Maybe the moment has already happened. What do you think the ring entails? Will they announce the news of their nuptials soon?
