In a heartwarming announcement that has delighted tennis fans, British tennis star Katie Boulter has revealed her engagement to Australian player Alex de Minaur. The 28-year-old Boulter, who has been in a relationship with the 25-year-old De Minaur for over four years, shared the exciting news on social media this Monday, posting a picture of the couple together with a prominent ring on her finger.

Boulter captioned the post, “We’ve been keeping a small secret,” followed by a smiling face emoji, sending waves of joy through their supporters. The couple’s engagement comes after years of mutual support in their tennis careers, with both players achieving significant success on the court.

The announcement quickly garnered a flood of congratulatory messages from fans and well-wishers, who expressed their excitement for the couple.

The pair, both stars in their respective countries, will soon be facing off on the tennis court at the United Cup in Australia, where Great Britain and Australia have been drawn in the same group.

While Boulter is ranked 24th in the world and is Britain’s top female tennis player, De Minaur holds a prestigious spot as the number nine player globally. In an earlier interview, Boulter admitted that playing against her fiancé would present unique challenges. “I wouldn’t say I am thrilled at the idea of playing him all over again,” she said, acknowledging his formidable skills as a top-10 player. However, she added with a smile that the personal aspect of their match-up would add an extra layer of excitement. “There’s a personal side of it as well, which is difficult but also great for bragging rights,” Boulter noted.

Both athletes have expressed how much they have supported and helped one another in their careers. Boulter has credited De Minaur with being an important part of her growth as a player, and the two are known for encouraging each other both on and off the court.
