Alex de Minaur clinched his 10th tour-level title in style after producing a remarkable comeback in the 2025 Citi DC Open final. De Minaur’s fiancée and fellow tennis player Katie Boulter shared a touching reaction after the Australian’s impressive victory.
De Minaur found himself on the brink of defeat during the final at the ATP 500 event, as Davidovich Fokina served for the title in the third set. However, the Australian secured a crucial break of serve and later fended off three championship points to claim a hard-fought 5-7, 6-1, 7-6(3) victory after a three-hour and five-minute battle.
Although Katie Boulter couldn’t cheer Alex de Minaur on in person due to her impending campaign at the Canadian Open, she tuned in from Montreal and supported him from afar. Fellow British tennis player Jodie Burrage even captured Boulter’s overjoyed reaction after De Minaur sealed his stellar win.
