JUNIOR STAR

Born in August 1996, Boulter took up tennis when she was just five and was representing Great Britain just three years later.

By the time she was just 11, she was winning tournaments abroad including the Lemon Bowl in Rome and Florida's Junior Orange Bowl.

Since turning pro in 2014, the British star has emerged as one of the most exciting talents in the country and has won 11 titles on the ITF Women's Circuit.

Boulter catapulted herself into the public eye with a Wimbledon win over Veronica Cepede Royg in 2018.

Boulter is currently ranked No 29 in the world and demonstrated a love for fashion when she appeared in Vogue back in 2018.

She was signed up by KIN Partners, the agents of the former England captain David Beckham, and the Paris-Saint Germain and Brazil superstar Neymar.

Is Katie Boulter in a relationship?

Katie has been in a relationship with fellow tennis player Alex de Minaur since 2021.

De Minaur is ranked No 9 and the couple have played together in the past.

The two of them played mixed doubles together at Wimbledon 2023 but it looks like there won't be a repeat in 2024.

Instead, they are both focusing on their singles matches.

Boulter told the LTA: "I don’t think we are (going to see me in the mixed doubles) this year. I’m just not sure it’s going to happen this year. I don’t know – I will tell you why off the camera."
