Some examples are Roger and Mirka Federer and, Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf. We might have another tennis marriage on our hands as fans saw Katie Boulter show signs of a possible engagement as she watched the bout between Alex De Minaur and Andrey Rublev.

However, the two players have been dating since early 2020, and we cannot completely rule out the possibility of an engagement either.

Comedian Ash Williams posed De Minaur with the question of proposing to his girlfriend before the first slam of the year began. De Minaur replied, “Jeez. Putting me on the spot here.” He further said, “Yeah, it’s not on the cards just yet. Not ruling it out. For the time being, I’m going to try to focus on playing tennis and then we’ll think about the off-court activities.”

Williams then asked him if he would do it if he won the Australian Open. De Minaur replied by saying it would be a good way to celebrate. Maybe the moment has already happened. What do you think the ring entails? Will they announce the news of their nuptials soon?
