Katie Boulter leaning on tennis boyfriend after crushing Wimbledon loss

“I’ve always thought she’s such a high-quality player, and it’s been amazing and great to see how she’s developed. She’s got that self-belief and what she’s been able to accomplish. I mean, the way she’s been handling the spotlight, the pressures, it’s been pretty astounding to me. You know, now it’s probably my turn to start learning from her.

“But yeah, she’s been playing amazing. She’s been doing amazing. She’s shown again this week that she deserves to be where she’s at, and I think, genuinely think, that it’s only the beginning. Hopefully she can keep on going and finish off a great year.”

Now by way of to the second spherical of the combined doubles, the tennis energy couple will tackle Joran Vliegen and Xu Yifan. They defeated De Minaur’s compatriots Storm Hunter and John Peers of their opening match collectively.
