Alex de Minaur was bemoaning this week how difficult it was to have to spend Valentine's Day away from his girlfriend Katie Boulter, the British No.1, because of their separate tennis schedules.
"That's the tough part of the tennis tours, that we didn't get to spend some of these special days together," de Minaur had noted ruefully in an interview with the ATP, saying how he had fancied a romantic dinner.
