Alex de Minaur playfully accuses girlfriend Katie Boulter of not giving him "space" as couple commence journey to Australia ahead of 2025 campaigns
Tennis couple Alex de Minaur and Katie Boulter have set off for Australia for their respective seasons in 2025. The Aussie-Brit pair have been dating each other since 2020.
In the recent off-season, the couple were seen sharing some moments, away from the rigors of tennis. However, both players resumed their off-season training at separate locations to prepare themselves for the new season. While De Minaur was sweating it out in Monaco, Boulter trained from her hometown, basing her off-season training out of London.
Both of them have set off for Australia together and De Minaur shared the couple's picture on the plane on his social media. The men's World No. 9 joked about him and Boulter always being together.
"When you think you finally gonna get some space...Aus here we come" Alex de Minaur captioned his Instagram story.
Boulter posted their picture on her Instagram as well, echoing similar sentiments.

Both players will be participating in the United Cup, which is set to begin on December 27. Both the player's nations Australia (De Minaur) and Great Britain (Boulter) have been placed together in Group F. Therefore there is a possibility the couple might face off against each other in a possible mixed doubles encounter.
