"Surely we're looking at four or five carats": Todd Woodbridge sparks Alex de Minaur - Katie Boulter engagement speculation with superb tease

Former Australian tennis player and now broadcaster Todd Andrew Woodbridge teased fellow countryman Alex de Minaur about the size of the ring his girlfriend Katie Boulter wore during the Australian Open.

The two have been dating for quite a while and there have been rumours that they are about to get engaged in the near future.

During De Minaur’s fourth-round clash in the first Grand Slam of the year, Woodbridge spotted his girlfriend Boulter wearing a ring and teased that Australian tennis star that since he is doing well on the court, he should be giving a better ring to his partner.

"I'll tell you what - Alex has been playing incredible tennis, he's top-10 in the world. I went in close to have a look at the ring and I said 'you know what? You can do better than that, Alex'," said Woodbridge.

He further went on to suggest that De Minaur would buy a four or five carat ring if the couple are looking to get engaged anytime soon. "An engagement ring? Surely we're looking at four or five carats, not a couple of chips,” he said.

De Minaur’s journey in the competition came to an end as he lost to Russia’s Andrey Rublev in a five-set thrilling contest in the round of 16 with a score of 6-4, 6-7, 6-7, 6-3, 6-0.

On the other hand, Boulter’s journey in the singles category came to an end earlier as she lost in the second round to China’s Qinwen Zheng in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-3.
