Australian-born Alex De Minaur charmed the Wimbledon crowds as he paid a loving tribute to his girlfriend. De Minaur was speaking to the BBC after ending Jack Draper’s chances of advancing through the tournament when he praised Katie Boulter for her performance against last year’s Wimbledon finalist Karolina Pliskova. The tennis star said: “Before we talk about my match, can we just talk about Katie Boulter today?
“I mean, she had a pretty good win herself.”
He continued: “‘m extremely stoked to get this win. It was a battle out there.
“Jack’s a hell of a competitor, hell of a talent, and he’s got a very bright future ahead of him.”
De Minaur,23, and Boulter, 25, have been dating for more than a year and will both return to the courts on Saturday to seek a placement in the next stage of the iconic tennis tournament.
