Love Has Never Been More Alive: Tennis' Number One Power Couple Katie Boulter And Alex De Minaur Announce Their Engagement
If you've read my blogs on here, there's a decent chance you've come across the name Katie Boulter. If not, welcome. Katie is the top ranked female British tennis player and number 24 overall in the WTA. For years she's dated Aussie tennis player Alex De Minaur, who himself is ranked in the top 10 on the men's side. They're a monster power couple in the sport, occasionally taking home trophies on the same weekend. Just two young, good-looking people who happen to really good at a professional sport, with a ton of money in the bank, and a career that takes them around the world to beautiful places. Not a bad gig, huh?
It became a running narrative in the sport as to when or even if De Minaur would ever pop the question. One commentator even went as far to awkwardly challenge him to do it if he ever won the Aussie Open. Well, after years of questions he finally did the damn thing. They're engaged! Well done sir.
That sound you heard is every man in Great Britain falling to their knees in devastation.
Just in time for the Aussie swing to begin! Since the tennis offseason is pretty much non-existent there's actual matches starting tonight. The United Cup starts tonight, which is basically a little World Cup tournament with players representing their countries in a team format. Players use it as a tune up for the slam next month, but it's also fun and competitive to get the juices flowing again.
At the end of the opening round robin for this tournament Great Britain is set to face Australia. That means if it goes to doubles (the tiebreaker) that Katie and her fiancé Alex could be up against each other. Rule number one for that match? Do not get in the dog house. Don't mess this up, Alex. Love took a big hit with Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly breaking up, but these two give us hope during the holidays. Enjoy.
