In tennis, finding a constant source of motivation is not always easy. Alex de Miñaur seems to have found it at home. The Australian recently spoke again about the influence that Katie Boulter has on his career, explaining how the healthy competition they have maintained since the beginning of their relationship helps them grow both on and off the court.

Becoming one of the most talked-about and established couples on the tour, they are also experiencing an especially exciting time on grass, their favorite surface. While De Miñaur arrived at Queen's as one of the top title contenders, Boulter put on a great performance the previous week at the same venue, reaching the semifinals and securing one of the most important victories of her career against Elena Rybakina.

De Miñaur and Boulter have been a couple for over six years

When asked about his fiancée's success, the Australian acknowledged that there is a friendly competition between them that ultimately benefits both. "It brings out the best in us," De Miñaur explained on atptour.com, admitting that both possess a competitive nature that constantly drives them to push each other. The current number one seed at Queen's stated that this dynamic creates a healthy competition that is reflected in their results.

This is not the first time both have spoken in similar terms. Over the past few years, they have repeatedly highlighted how sharing the same profession allows them to better understand the sacrifices, frustrations, and demands of the tour. Even off the court, they maintain that competitive spirit, as they demonstrated a few months ago in a fun go-kart race in Miami where they even bet that the loser would have to take care of the laundry for a week.

With Wimbledon already on the horizon, the story of De Miñaur and Boulter continues to write new chapters. Beyond the sentimental aspect, both seem to have found an unusual formula in professional tennis: turning each other's success into an additional motivation to keep improving every day.
