Subsequently, Siniakova apparently went public with her relationship with Machac during the Wimbledon Championships. Although the two have a deep bond, they have often stayed away from the limelight as far as their dating life goes. They seldom post pictures with each other on social media. Machac is five years younger than Siniakova and hence, the two have never been spotted playing doubles together at Grand Slams.

Machac is one of the most promising stars in his country. He is ranked 75th in singles and has a long way to go despite his uprise. On the other hand, Siniakova is an experienced player and has had success both in singles as well as doubles. One of her biggest victories came against Kim Clijsters. Subsequently, she shared a heartfelt reaction to it.
