Alex de Minaur and Katie Boulter are busy personifying tennis couple goals! Minaur recently defeated America’s Sebastian Korda 6-2, 6-4 at the final of the s-Hertogenbosch, NL. A few hours later, his girlfriend Katie Boulter came back from a set down to defeat Karolina Pliskova by 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 at the Nottingham Open. Although she managed to defend her title in Nottingham, the British number one looked a bit annoyed with her boyfriend stealing away all the limelight.

The couple was seen in a heartwarming banter on social media after their victories. Seeing her emphatic triumph over the former world number, Alex de Minaur quickly put up a post on his X account stating, “How did that happen again 🤯🤯🤯🤯 @katiecboulter You are a joke! #doubletrouble.” Replying to his post, Katie Boulter later on wrote, “Just let me have the limelight for once by myself geeez 🙄😅😘.

As their conversation would provide a clue, this isn’t the first time that both of these tennis stars witnessed a title triumph during the same week. March saw a similar event, as Alex de Minaur won the Mexican Open, while Katie Boulter won the San Diego Open. After his victory in Acapulco, Alex de Minaur was asked if he was really going to be joining the celebration party. Replying to this question, he quickly stated, “No, I cannot because I’ve got a 6 am flight to go to Tijuana and go and watch Katie play in the final so I’m looking forward to that.

However, this time, he didn’t get the chance to see Boulter lift her trophy from the front seat. The British tennis star didn’t forget to fire a warning his way in the on-court interview after the match. She said, My boyfriend didn’t make the trip even though I thought he might after his win in ‘s-Hertogenbosch. We will have to be talking about that tonight and see if we’re gonna still be together. I hope he’s listening to this because we’ve got some talking to do.

Both Alex de Minaur and Katie Boulter have been the biggest supporters of each other over the years. Once, Boulter even revealed how her boyfriend motivated her to become a better player. However, what did Katie Boulter say after seeing her boyfriend in San Diego last time?

They had first met each other during a coffee date. Alex de Minaur revealed that Katie Boulter had initially rejected him when he asked her for a date. But then, the next time, she agreed, and since then, the story has been building quite well between the two. Just like their off-the-court hit story, they have been now writing tales on the court as well. Alex de Minaur has now moved up to the number 7 spot in the men’s singles ranking with his recent triumph. Katie Boulter (31), on the other hand, is now on the verge of breaking into the top 30 in women’s singles ranking.

Their support possibly played a big role in their success, as Katie Boulter thanked the Aussie for taking time out of his busy schedule and taking the flight to San Diego earlier this year. She stated, “I want to say a small special thank you to my boyfriend who finished last night at midnight and I really want to embarrass him. He got on a 4:15 taxi this morning and 6 o’clock flight to be here today. So I do appreciate it.

Hopefully, we will get to see more of these moments featuring these two superstars. The two seem perfect for each other and have been together for much of their career span. With the two winning a title twice at the same time, will we see a third in the near future?
