Aussie demon Alex de Minaur sparks rumours he’s dating Katie Boulter

The Demon is winning on and off the court, it seems.

Alex de Minaur had the tennis rumour mill running hot after apparently becoming the latest Aussie tennis star to use the post-match camera lens signing as an opportunity to send a message to a special someone.

Nick Kyrgios has written to his girlfriend Chiara Passari after both of his wins at this year’s Australian Open and fans believed De Minaur had followed suit when he scribbled “KT” after Thursday’s win against Pablo Cuevas.

Tennis journalist Jose Morgado then appeared to confirm Boulter, the 24-year-old British tennis star, is indeed De Minaur’s girlfriend.

Boulter, currently ranked outside the world’s top 300, lost 6-1 6-4 to Russia’s Daria Kasatkina in the first round of the Australian Open.

De Minaur, 21, who matched his best result at his home grand slam by defeating Cuevas 6-3 6-3 7-5, has been active on Boulter’s Instagram recently, replying “Hi hello” with a fire emoji to a photograph of her wearing a jumpsuit.

De Minaur, who is Australia’s highest-ranked men’s player at 23, has been catching the eye for more than just his play this year.

He has grown his hair out and was even asked by a journalist after his win over Cuevas about the extra bling he’s been wearing.

Needs saying:

But the Aussie was quick to make it clear he’s an understated character.

“This (necklace) is a cross I’ve had with me basically my whole life,” he said.

“This one (a second necklace) is the tree of life which I was given by my coach’s mum. It has special meaning because it’s not something you buy for yourself, it’s supposed to be given to you. It’s for a life of luck, happiness and fulfilment.

“And then (looking at his watch) TAG has hooked me up … and this (pointing to a wristband) I’ve always had this one, I’ve just added one more.

“It’s not really my thing, it’s just a couple of things I’ve added, it’s nothing crazy. I’m not the type to go overboard, that’s for sure.”
