Katie Boulter Hilariously Teases Beau Alex De Minaur as the 26YO Makes a Bold Fashion Statement at Monte Carlo
Remember when Katie Boulter cheekily called out Alex de Minaur during the Australian Open with, “Stop trying to thirst trap. You have a fiancée”? Well, she’s at it again—and this time, it’s about his fashion choices in Monte Carlo.
Fresh off a stunning victory over 11th seed Daniil Medvedev at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters, De Minaur is lighting up the clay courts and social media. The Aussie dismantled Medvedev 6-2, 6-2 with blistering precision, breaking his serve in seven out of eight games—a statement performance that rocketed him into the quarterfinals for the second straight year. In doing so, he became the first Aussie in 45 years to reach back-to-back QFs at Monte Carlo.
While Alex is making waves on the court, Katie’s winning hearts off it. Following his big win, De Minaur posted a spirited photo of a mid-match fist pump on Instagram, captioned:
“Step by step 🧱👀 QF 🔜 @rolexmontecarlomasters”
The post had fans buzzing, but Boulter’s hilarious comment stole the show:
“Not sure the short shorts are a win tho.”
Cue the laughter—and the likes.
Love, Laughter, and a Lot of Winning
This isn’t the first time Boulter’s wit has gone viral. Just last month, she posted on X:
“Get married 🟰 win slam. Have a baby 🟰 win 500 📝📝📝📝📝”
Fans immediately connected it to De Minaur’s deep run at the ATP 500 ABN AMRO Open in Rotterdam, where he came within one match of the title.
De Minaur’s response? Pure gold:
“You got any ideas you wanna share with me???😅😂”
This playful banter has not only charmed fans but also shown the effortless chemistry between the tennis couple.
The Aussie Finds His Footing on Clay
De Minaur’s Monte Carlo performance marks a turning point in what many had called a lukewarm season. With momentum building and Katie’s lighthearted support in tow, he’s rediscovering his rhythm on clay—a surface he once admitted wasn’t his strongest.
“More than anything, I’m just finding my feet on clay,” De Minaur shared post-match.
“It’s taken me a while, but I finally understand how to be effective on this surface. I can be dangerous here.”
Up next, he faces Grigor Dimitrov in the quarterfinals—a formidable test as Dimitrov is fresh off a win over Alejandro Tabilo, who stunned Novak Djokovic earlier.
A Clay-Court Love Story?
While De Minaur joins the elite club of Aussies with multiple Monte Carlo QF appearances in the Open Era, the real question is: Can he push through to his first semifinal here?
And just maybe—does Katie’s teasing serve as his secret weapon?
