Katie Boulter and Alex de Minaur Marry as Both Return to Washington Open

Boulter will keep her maiden name for official WTA competition, a branding choice that coincides with the couple’s return to the Washington Open ahead of the US Open.

Overview

  • The pair married after six years together in a small ceremony and celebrations in England and Tuscany following their recent Wimbledon exits.
  • Journalist Ben Rothenberg reported that Boulter will use de Minaur privately on social media but will continue to compete under Katie Boulter on the WTA Tour.
  • Both players are entered at the Washington/Citi DC Open with tough first-round draws: de Minaur faces Stefanos Tsitsipas and Boulter meets American Ashlyn Krueger.
  • De Minaur said a brief honeymoon and roughly 13 days without a racquet helped him move past his Wimbledon disappointment and recharge before Washington.
  • Boulter arrives on stronger form after a resurgent 2026 that included an Ostrava title and a climb from world No. 120 back into the top 70, which could affect her momentum into the US hard-court swing.
