Workplace romances are a common occurrence, and even on the international tennis circuit, love is in the air. The history of Wimbledon is filled with love stories, such as Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf, who started dating in 1999 while both being French Open champions and are still happily married after more than two decades. Another notable couple is Chris Evert and Jimmy Connors, who captured fans’ attention with their off-court affair in the early 1970s. Although they never married, they were nicknamed ‘The Lovebird Double’ when they both won Wimbledon in 1974.
As the first week of Wimbledon unfolds in South London, there are several tennis stars who have found love on the practice courts and are now dating their fellow players. One couple that everyone is excited about is Katie Boulter and Alex de Minaur. Boulter, the UK’s new women’s No. 1, has been dating Australian player de Minaur, who is ranked No. 17 in the world, since 2021. They often share pictures of their time together on social media and are currently renting a house near the All England Club. Boulter appreciates the comfort and familiar surroundings of this arrangement, stating that it feels like a home for her. Both Boulter and de Minaur have high chances of performing well in the competition, and they support each other by watching each other’s matches from the grandstands.
Elina Svitolina and Gael Monfils are another tennis couple making headlines. They announced their engagement in 2021 after dating for two years and welcomed their first child together in October 2022. Svitolina, a Ukrainian player, recently won her first match at Wimbledon after giving birth. Unfortunately, Monfils had to withdraw from the tournament due to a wrist injury. The couple shared their engagement news on social media, with Monfils posting a picture of Svitolina showing off her engagement ring in the mountains. They are popular among fans and often share their life together on their joint social media accounts.
Madison Keys and Bjorn Fratangelo are a power couple in the tennis world. Keys, seeded 25th in the women’s draw, and Fratangelo, a doubles player, have been dating since 2017. Earlier this year, they announced their engagement through an Instagram post, showing a picture of their hands intertwined with a sparkler on Keys’ finger. They both expressed their excitement for spending their lives together. Keys revealed that Fratangelo proposed to her at home, surprising her after she returned from a tournament in Dubai. They are not only a great couple off the court but also an impressive doubles pairing on the court.
Daria Gavrilova and Luke Saville have a love story that started in their teenage years on the junior circuit. These Australian tennis stars tied the knot in 2021 after getting engaged in December 2018. Their first dance at their wedding was a choreographed routine to the song “My Universe” by Coldplay, which they learned from watching YouTube tutorials. Gavrilova will be facing Britain’s Katie Boulter in the first round of Wimbledon.
Czech tennis players Katerina Siniakova and Tomas Machac confirmed their relationship in 2021 after rumors started circulating. Machac, ranked 103rd in the world, shared a photo of the couple in a restaurant on Instagram with the caption “My Love.” Siniakova, a top-seeded player in the doubles and ranked 32nd in singles at Wimbledon, has won the tournament three times in doubles.
These tennis couples add an extra touch of romance and excitement to the renowned Wimbledon tournament. While the competition on the court is fierce, love is also flourishing off the court for these players.
