Alex De Minaur is getting more and more confident. The Australian champion started the season in the best possible way after winning the title in Antalya. Alex reached the 3rd round of the Australian Open with straight-set wins. Things are going great for Alex both on and off the court.
De Minaur and Katie Boulter
There are stronger and stronger rumors about Alex dating British beauty and fellow tennis player Katie Boulter. The Australian contributed to fuel more speculation about his involvement with Katie after signing KT on the camera after he defeated Pablo Cuevas 6-3 6-3 7-5 in the 2nd round. Obviously, that didn’t go unnoticed.
