Wimbledon power couple Katie Boulter and Alex De Minaur's adorable relationship

Great Britain’s Katie Boulter and her Aussie boyfriend, Alex De Minaur, have both advanced through to the next round of Wimbledon after stonking wins this week.

Katie Boulter fought back from one set down to beat world number six Karolína Plíšková, and progress through to the third round of Wimbledon.

The British number three will take to Centre Court to play Harmony Tan on Saturday.

Boulter's boyfriend, Alex De Minaur, beat Great Britain’s Jack Draper last night to secure his place in the third round where he'll face another Brit in Liam Broady.

But how did the couple meet? We take a look at their adorable relationship.

The pair officially announced their relationship on International Women's Day two years ago, with De Minaur posting a photo of Boulter captioned: “Happy International Women’s day, especially this one here!”

Two years later, they’re both rallying each other on to go as far as possible in this year’s Wimbledon.

In his post-match interview with the BBC, De Minaur said: “Before we talk about my match, can we talk about Katie Boulter today, she had a pretty good win herself.”

The shoutout to his girlfriend was met by cheers and whistles, of course. Well played Alex. Well played.

Tennis couples

Tennis players finding love on the circuit seems to be a fairly common occurrence.

Gael Monflis, known for his athletic ability and audacious trick shots, married Ukrainian world number three Elina Svitolina.

And it doesn’t stop there.

Swiss maestro Roger Federer also met his wife on the tennis court. Federer met Mirka Vavrinec representing Switzerland at the Olympics.

They went on to play doubles together and started dating soon after.

No tennis-playing coupled have yet won the same Grand Slam title on the same year.

Could Alex De Minaur and Katie Boulter serve up a romantic run and both win Wimbledon this year?
