Katie Boulter relationship has helped Alex de Minaur with refreshing new perspective on tennis: "Not let results dictate my life"

Australia’s tennis star Alex de Minaur has revealed the positive impact he has had in his professional life with a relationship with Britain’s Katie Boulter.

The two have been dating for a while and can be described as one of the most followed couples in tennis. De Minaur was recently quoted in a report where he revealed how his girlfriend Boulter has helped her deal with difficult results on the court.

“She teaches me to enjoy life, enjoy the process, not let results dictate your life,” he said. “At times, I’ve been very hard on myself and I’ve taken losses very, very badly. But the sheer fact of being with her, I’ve been able to snap out of it so much quicker and learn to enjoy it and see the good things about life off the court.”

Talking about his personal objectives, De Minaur stated that all he wants to have a career where after retiring, he can look back with the comfort that he gave his all when he had the chance to produce the goods on the court.

“The one thing I want to achieve in my career is that I can sit on the couch, once it’s all said and done and know that I gave myself the best shot and I did everything I could,” he said. “I don’t want to have any regrets. That means getting the most out of myself and seeing where I need to improve, what I need to do in certain situations to ultimately be able to finish my career and be content and know that I gave it my all.”

De Minaur had a difficult time in the first Grand Slam of the year — the Australian Open — where he was knocked out after losing in the fourth round to Russia’s Andrey Rublev in a five-set thriller with a score of 6-4, 6-7, 6-7, 6-3, 6-0.
