Mixed doubles is a unique format in tennis that showcases the perfect blend of male and female players’ skills, strategy, and teamwork. It provides an opportunity for players to learn from each other, adapt to different playing styles, and develop new techniques that they can apply to their singles careers. For Boulter and de Minaur, this partnership represents a chance to grow as players and expand their repertoire on the court.
In an interview with the ATP Tour, Katie was asked about how she feels playing doubles with Alex. To which she responded, ?It’s going to test our relationship. I think we bring the best out of each other, in terms of tennis, on and off the court. I think we’re going to have a couple of smiles on our faces, enjoying ourselves. Yeah, he’s obviously got a lot more experience than me in doubles, and I’ll be looking to draw off him.?
