Elina Svitolina has confirmed the end of her marriage to Gael Monfils, with the Ukrainian stating that their personal situation led to Monfils' sudden retirement earlier this month, meaning he will not play his final two tournaments in Lyon and Paris.
The tennis tour is relentless, lasting 11 months as players fly from city to city, country to country, competing in different tournaments every week. So it's no surprise that some of the players end up together. Britain's Katie Boulter married her long-time partner, ATP No. 8 Alex de Minaur, earlier this year. Steffi Graf and Andre Agassi have been married for 25 years. Roger Federer's wife, Mirka, was also a tennis player.
Couples who found love on tour
Katie Boulter and Alex de Minaur officially tied the knot this summer, six years after going public with their relationship. They wed in an intimate ceremony in Boulter's home of Leicestershire before throwing a bigger bash in Italy. Boulter and De Minaur's off-court romance has often helped them on the court, too, and they've won titles at the same time more than once.
Back in 2024, De Minaur won the ATP 500 event in Acapulco, and then rushed to San Diego to watch the Brit lift some silverware too. A few months later, she claimed the title in Nottingham while the Aussie was crowned the 's-Hertogenbosch champion. The couple also continue to support each other from one another's player boxes when they can. Boulter is currently competing in Japan, while De Minaur is set to play in Vienna next week.
Icons and coaching couples
Steffi Graf and Andre Agassi have now been married for 25 years and have two children together. Their son, Jaden, plays baseball, and Graf and Agassi have often been seen cheering him on. He also represented his mother's home nation, Germany, in the World Baseball Classic qualifiers. Eight-time Major winner Agassi opened up on his relationship with Graf in his autobiography, Open, and even admitted he had a crush on her back in 1992, years before they finally got together. The pair married in a very small ceremony in their Las Vegas home in 2001. Graf was recently seen cheering on Agassi's Team World at the Laver Cup in London with their daughter, Jaz.
Madison Keys and Bjorn Fratangelo have been together since 2017 and got married at the end of 2024. A former top-100 player on the ATP Tour, Fratangelo has been inactive for the last three years, but started coaching Keys in 2023 and was in her corner when she won a maiden Grand Slam title at the Australian Open 2025. Explaining how he started coaching his own wife, Fratangelo told the ATP: "I think it kind of started when we kind of had a little more tennis dialogue in our relationship, sort of when I was finishing my own career. She was just bouncing ideas off of me and stuff. It was the first time I was giving input back. Then it just came to a point where we started and decided that I was going to be with her full-time."
More tour romances
Boulter and De Minaur aren't the only British Katie and Aussie Alex to form a relationship on the tennis tour. Swan, a former world No. 118, has been dating Bolt for a couple of years. When she picked up a career-threatening back injury, the Bristol-born star even branded herself a "WAG" and travelled with Bolt on the lower-level Challenger and ITF circuits.
Swan has since enjoyed a revival, reaching the second round at Wimbledon this summer. She and Bolt also won titles at the same tournament at the end of 2025. The 27-year-old claimed her 16th ITF title in Brisbane, while Bolt was crowned the champion of the ATP Challenger event staged in the same venue.
