(VIDEO) "Are you doubting me Jim?": Jim Courier shares hilarious concern for Alex de Minaur's marriage planning as wife-to-be Boulter looks on
ATPFriday, 23 January 2026 at 16:00
Alex de Minaur was utterly superb even if his marriage planning isn't as he took down Frances Tiafoe at the Australian Open on Friday and after winning through his third round, it was not tough questions about the match but about his future marriage to fellow tennis star Katie Boulter that was on the menu.
De MInaur has previously spoken in the past about how he is winning and by proxy so stressed in order to pay for the wedding to the Brit which is what spurs him on to win. He reached the ATP Finals last year and has been one of the greatest stars on tour for a long while.
“Honestly, when I’m out there on court, and you see me so stressed out, I’m just thinking of the wedding budget,” De Minaur said at one point last year.
“And that’s why I’m like, ‘I need to win more money, I need to win more matches.’ That’s all that goes through my head.”
But this was put into question as he hilariously had an interaction with Jim Courier who doubted his wedding planning abilities and whether or not he's leaving it to Katie Boulter. "Are you doubting me, Jim?" quipped De Minaur. "I am definitely doubting you," replied Courier.
But De Minaur asked Courier himself to make sure to only get a completely different response. "No, this is a 50-50 relationship, right?
"You’ve not been married — you don’t know. You’re about to become a 49% shareholder of a really great company," replied De Minaur.
"Honestly, the fact that we’re both tennis players and we’ve both got quite busy schedules means we’re doing as much as we can together. I’ve been involved so far with some of the decisions. I’m sure when it comes to the details — like napkins, flowers and decoration — that’s not my forte. I’ll leave that to Katie."
Albeit this cued a concerned face from Boulter who was watching on in the crowd. She laughed straight away though to show she wasn't mad at the reply and he signed the camera for her straight away in the aftermath. True love.

- 2026 WTA Rule Book Between Serves: While it is considered rude to shout between a first and second serve, it is generally not considered a rules violation unless the umpire deems it a deliberate, unsportsmanlike attempt to hinder the server.

- She looks more dangerous than anyone on that tour. And now that America has committed actions that are worse than Putin's, all that nonsense about Ukraine will be dropped. Otherwise, the Tennis organizations are going to have to hand down punishment to the American players. Something they look like they are trying to avoid. The corruption and racism in tennis is showing their ugly heads.

- "Success" can be measured in many ways. Some people would not be comfortable 'playing' their sponsors and not giving your 100% on a daily basis. While others would obviously be okay with shopping, taking unlimited selfies, and photo-shoots for a "living". Sometimes it's not about one's wealth, but how that status is obtained... and maintained. You know... integrity, dignity, and all that.
- If Emma - round2canu is a Uniqlo an ambassador, Uniqlo will be on my blacklist. Speaking as a Chinese based in Singapore/China who shops at Uniqlo from time to time and similar to Emma’s age,I would not want to pay a dime more to a brand that pays 3 + mil + bonus for this joker. Never once shown enough grits after losing a set. Body still not match ready to endure the grinding of the tour after 4 years since her one lucky win. Never stringed 4 consecutive wins in WTA/ITF/Slams in the last 4 years and never once made to finals and never won any new titles ( even 250). One of the most stupid things that the western marketeers seem to have misunderstood is that the fact she has Chinese heritage does not make her more appealing to Chinese audience. Happy to support many other Chinese players with great potential and hardworking. Emma is the most hyped player but she is not that special to Chinese.
