In March, Alex de Minaur won the Acapulco title and then traveled to San Diego to see his girlfriend Katie Boulter win the WTA trophy in San Diego the following day. On Sunday, the tennis power couple went one step further by claiming two crowns in the same day.
First, top seed De Minaur won his second grass-court tour level title in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, beating Sebastian Korda 6-2, 6-4 in the final. Hours later, Boulter defeated Karolina Pliskova 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 in a Nottingham Trophy match. The third seed pulled double duty on Sunday, clinching a three-set semifinal win over her fellow Briton Emma Raducanu earlier in the day.
“How could something like that happen again… You’re joking!” De Minaur wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

De Minaur’s victory moved her to a career-high No. 7 in the PIF ATP Live Rankings, while Boulter’s successful title defense kept her just outside the WTA top 30. Both players are due to play in England next week, with De Minaur at The Queen’s Club and Boulter in Birmingham.
