Tennis power couple Alex de Minaur and Katie Boulter set social media ablaze after a heart-warming courtside moment during the Canadian Open this week. Following Boulter’s stunning three-set victory, the cameras caught de Minaur waiting just beyond the players’ tunnel, bouquet in hand and a beaming smile that could melt any tennis fan’s heart.
As she walked off court, visibly exhausted yet elated, Boulter spotted him and immediately ran into his arms. The embrace lasted only seconds, but the affectionate exchange – sealed with a quick kiss and shared laughter – instantly went viral. Fans flooded Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok with slow-motion replays, calling it “the most wholesome tennis moment of the year.”
“It’s just nice to have someone in your corner who understands the ups and downs of this sport,” Boulter told reporters later, glancing at de Minaur with an unmistakable sparkle in her eyes.
The pair, who have been dating since 2022, are known for their playful banter and mutual support at tournaments. But this unguarded moment struck a chord far beyond the tennis world, reminding viewers that even in the fiercely competitive arena of professional sport, love can be the biggest winner.
