Both Boulter and De Minaur have spoken admirably about one another’s impact on their own careers since they began dating.
Boulter enjoyed a career-best year on the WTA Tour in 2024 having cracked the world’s top-20 for the first time.
De Minaur has similarly reached new heights, climbing inside the men’s top-10 on the ATP Tour.
Speaking earlier this month, Boulter admitted that the Aussie ace has helped her ‘push her boundaries’ to new levels.

“Anyone who has watched our journey has seen us grow together on the court and off the court,” Boulter began, speaking to Sky Sports.
“For me, it’s such a lovely feeling to know that everything is going well on the court, and we can still enjoy time away from the court together.
“I feel like we’ve really helped each other in so many different ways. Firstly, he’s there for advice.

“He’s got some credence, so I have to take his advice on board, and I don’t mind listening to him once in a while. I don’t know if he takes it well from me, but he knows what he’s doing.
“He’s already been on the journey that I’m on right now. I’ve probably been on it a bit longer, so I have a slightly different perspective, which I can help him with, and he can help me with the ranking side of things.
“It’s pushed my boundaries even more and given me belief that I can be where he’s at right now.”
