Tennis’ power couple, Alex De Minaur and Katie Boulter, have once again proven that love and success can indeed go hand-in-hand! While the Brit defended her title at the Nottingham Open, her beau, De Minaur, earned his ninth career title at the Libema Open yesterday. Therefore, along with them, the whole tennis world is enjoying the dual wins of the couple. Adding to the chorus of praise, Jannik Sinner’s girlfriend, Anna Kalinskaya, has also extended her praises for the couple!

Anna Kalinskaya, took to her Instagram story and shared a picture of the couple, De Minaur and Boulter, from a post by tiebreak_tennis. The original post that she shared on her story, captioned, “Couple Goals,” describes the dates on which the couple earned their titles. Interestingly, on March 2nd and 3rd, De Minaur and Boulter won two titles together in Acapulco and San Diego, respectively. 

On top of that, their parallel wins at Libema and Nottingham Open added another layer of achievements to their career. Noticing how both of them won these titles either on the same day (Yesterday) or just within a gap of a day (March), Jannik Sinner’s beau couldn’t help but share her admiration for the couple’s simultaneous success. “This makes me 🥺 happy for both of you guys 😇. congrats and see you soon 😊 💪 @katiecboulter @alexdeminaur,” the 25-year-old Russian tennis pro wrote on her Instagram story.

With a wink and a nudge, Boulter playfully addressed her boyfriend De Minaur’s absence from the stands in Nottingham, despite his close win in the Netherlands. “My boyfriend didn’t make the trip even though I thought he might after his win in ‘s-Hertogenbosch but yeah we’ll have to be talking about that tonight and see if we’re going to be still together,” said Boulter. “I don’t know, but I hope he’s going to be listening to this because we’ve got some talking to do!”

Their simultaneous victory also reminds the tennis world of the iconic couple, Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf. In 1999, they won the French Open title together. It is also the same year they started dating each other, and have been married since 2001! Although De Minaur and Boulter are celebrating their fourth anniversary this year, Jannik Sinner and Anna Kalinskaya’s relationship is comparatively new. 

Earlier in 2024, rumors about their relationship hit the tennis world as they were spotted together numerous times on and off the court. However, the couple, who likes to keep their personal life private and away from the spotlight of tennis, finally confessed to the media that they are together. The World No. 1 admitted it during a press conference after his first-round victory in the French Open. “I’m with Anna [Kalinskaya], yes, but we keep everything very confidential, you know my confidentiality… I won’t say more,” said the Italian player.
