Katie Boulter was pictured on Court One on Monday watching her boyfriend Alex de Minaur face off for a spot in the quarter-finals of the men’s singles at Wimbledon against Arthur Fils.
It comes just days after Boulter crashed out of the tournament after she was beaten in the second round of the ladies’ singles by fellow Brit Harriet Dart, 6-4 1-6 6-7.
Should De Minaur surpass Fils, it will be the first time in the Australian tennis star’s career that he has reached the quarter-finals at the All England Championship.
Boulter lapped up the atmosphere inside the arena, smiling while she watched her boyfriend play, though at times appeared to cut a nervous figure.
De Minaur, who has won twice on the ATP Tour this season, started well against Fils, who is ranked No 34 on the men’s tour.
The Australian took both the first and second sets before Fils bounced back in the third exchange, drawing level with the Australian at four games apiece before breaking him twice to win the set 6-4.
Boulter, 27, has also enjoyed an excellent 2024 so far, having beaten 2021 Wimbledon finalist Karolina Pliskova and former US Open champion Emma Raducanu on her way to winning the Rothesay Open in June.
Prior to that, she also enjoyed success in San Diego in February, besting Marta Kostyuk to claim only her second title on the WTA Tour.
