Katie Boulter and his boyfriend Alex de Minaur recently lifted titles in the same week again. Previously, they had lifted titles together in March, when Boulter won her maiden WTA 500 title at the San Diego Open and de Minaur won the Mexican Open.
Boulter recently won the Nottingham Open, defeating Harriet Dart, Rebecca Marino, and Magdalena Frech on her way to the semifinals, where she faced her compatriot, Emma Raducanu.
Boulter won a tight contest between the Britons in a comeback victory. Raducanu won the first set 7-6(13) before Boulter responded with a 6-3, 6-4 to secure her place in the finals. In the final, the World No. 31 defeated Karolina Pliskova 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 to lift her third career title.
De Minaur also won the Libema Open on the same day. The Australian defeated Zizou Bergs, and Milos Raonic en route to the semifinal, where he downed No. 3 seed Ugo Humbert. In the final, he defeated Sebastian Korda 6-2, 6-4 for his ninth career title. With this, he has now reached his career-best ranking of World No. 7.
Boulter and de Minaur won a title together for the second time this season and were left surprised at the sweet coincidence. The Aussie took to Instagram to express his surprise as he shared a post and wrote:
“No way you just did that.”
The Brit, on the other hand, said that she takes inspiration from her partner every day and wrote:
“Inspiration everyday. NCH(New Career High) #7.”
