Katie Boulter Playfully Calls Out Alex De Minaur’s Priorities After Miami Open Exit

“Tennis is where we want to be — the rest will follow,” Katie Boulter once told Tatler about her relationship with Alex De Minaur. And true to her words, their bond has only strengthened over time. But even the most committed couples find moments to tease each other, and Boulter never misses an opportunity to do just that.

After wrapping up their respective campaigns on the tennis tour, the couple returned home for some much-needed downtime. However, instead of taking it easy, De Minaur headed straight to the golf course—something Boulter couldn’t resist poking fun at.

Tough Outings in Miami & Indian Wells

Both players had their fair share of struggles during the Sunshine Double. Boulter’s Miami Open run ended abruptly in the first round against American rising star Peyton Stearns, while she also suffered a tough third-round loss to Elena Rybakina at Indian Wells. Meanwhile, De Minaur put up a stronger showing but fell just short of a breakthrough, losing in the fourth round of both Indian Wells and Miami.

Despite these setbacks, the couple found a silver lining—time together away from the competitive grind. And, of course, Boulter made sure to bring her signature humor along for the ride.

A Playful Instagram Jab

As De Minaur hit the golf course on his first day home, Boulter took to Instagram, capturing him in action with his golf gear. She cheekily wrote:

“First day home in months, priorities will always be the same.”

She then added a fun poll for her followers:

“Small argument occurring, so I obviously came to Instagram to prove I’m right. Is it reasonable to keep your partner’s golf clubs in the shed?”

Her lighthearted jab kept fans entertained, proving once again that their relationship thrives on humor and playful banter.

Not the First Time!

Boulter has a history of teasing De Minaur on social media. Earlier this month, after the couple’s mixed doubles debut at the Eisenhower Cup, she jokingly posted:

“Fun night at @tiebreaktens even though we lost… I guess I’ll keep him 😂.”

De Minaur quickly fired back, pretending to lament their financial future, quipping:

“Here goes the wedding budget… 😭😭😭.”

These witty exchanges have become a signature of their dynamic, showing that while they take their tennis careers seriously, they always find time to keep things lighthearted.

Celebrating Five Years of Love

Beyond their on-court and social media banter, the couple recently marked a significant milestone—five years together. De Minaur shared a heartfelt Instagram post featuring a sunset-lit moment with Boulter, simply captioned:

“5 years ❤️🤞.”

True to her playful nature, Boulter followed up with a hilarious IG story, using a clip of a little girl clutching a cat as a metaphor for how she “snatched” De Minaur and never let go.

What’s Next?

While their off-court chemistry is undeniable, the focus now shifts back to tennis as the clay court season approaches. Both players will be looking to refine their games and regain momentum ahead of the European swing.

After all, nothing pairs better than love and a winning streak—right?
