They are the currently top-ranked players for their respective nations, with Leicester-born Boulter 24 in the WTA rankings, while Aussie de Minaur is flying high at world number nine. Having met on the professional circuit, the stars are regularly seen supporting each other from the stands when their schedules allow. In July, de Minaur enjoyed an impressive run to the quarter-finals at Wimbledon, and received huge support from the British crowd due in no small part to his relationship with Boulter. This prompted him to jokingly refer to himself as an ‘honorary Brit’. Ahead of his last eight clash with Djokovic, de Minaur said: “Oh, 100 per cent. I’ll take all the support I can get. I can be the honorary Brit here at Wimbledon. Boulter and De Minaur made their mixed doubles debut at Wimbledon in 2023Getty “I do feel very loved out there, I must say. I always love coming here to Wimbledon and playing here. I always feel like I play some of my best tennis.” And while both are predominantly singles players, they have taken to the court together to play mixed doubles. The popular pairing partnered each other at the All England Club in 2023, but were eliminated in the second round. However, the lovebirds will soon find themselves on opposing sides in the upcoming United Cup. Great Britain and Australia have been drawn against each other for the international tournament, which features mixed-gender teams, and will face off on December 31. There are two singles matches and a mixed doubles clash in every United Cup clash, meaning the recently-engaged couple could play against each other if selected for the doubles.
