Love on the Tennis Court: 7 Tennis stars who dated each other

Tennis, one of the most popular and sometimes the most fashionable sports, consistently produces some of the most attractive sporting icons in the world. And when attractive people spend nearly 40 weeks a year on the tour, you're bound to fall into each other. With the Australian Open 2026 ongoing and Valentine's week upcoming, we at OTTplay present you with the 7 Tennis stars who dated each other. Some on this list went on to get married as well.

7. Alex de Minaur & Katie Boulter

Mixed Doubles always provide more chances to turn Tennis stars into couples other than the Singles. Alex de Minaur and Katie Boulter are the prime example of that.

Minaur, the Aussie "Demon", and Katie, the British No. 1, have been dating each other since 2020.

They often make headlines for their playful social media banter and for winning titles in the same week.

In late 2024, they announced their engagement, solidifying their status as one of the tour's most consistent power couples.

In the early 2000s, Belgium’s Kim Clijsters was so adored in Australia while dating Hewitt that the locals called her "Aussie Kim."

The pair met at the 2000 Australian Open and were engaged for a year before ultimately splitting in 2004.

Both went on to have incredible careers and found happiness with other partners, but for a moment, they were the darlings of the tour.

Their relationship became public in 2023 through a series of viral social media posts and a joint Spotify profile.

Despite a brief, high-profile breakup in early 2024, they reconciled shortly after, proving that even in the world of elite sports, the heart wants what it wants.

4. Gaël Monfils & Elina Svitolina

Affectionately known by their joint Instagram handle "G.E.M.S Life," this duo is one of the most beloved active couples on tour.

The Frenchman and the Ukrainian star began dating in 2019, married in 2021, and welcomed their daughter, Skai, in 2022.

Monfils, who had already announced that 2026 will be his final year of Tennis, has been seen supporting his wife, Elina, from the box. Both Gaël and Elina have been among the most elegant and powerful couples in the Tennis World on and off the court.

3. Jimmy Connors & Chris Evert

In the 1970s, "Chrissie" and "Jimbo" were the Brangelina of the sporting world.

Both were World No. 1s and the reigning Wimbledon champions when they got engaged in 1974.

However, the "Love Match" wasn't meant to be, as they called off the wedding just weeks before the date, later citing the pressures of being young and hyper-competitive.

2. Roger Federer & Mirka Vavrinec

Long before she was the "First Lady of Tennis," Mirka was a Top 100 player herself.

The two met while representing Switzerland at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney.

Though Mirka retired early due to a persistent foot injury, she became the strategic "rock" behind Roger’s legendary career.

They married in 2009 and famously have two sets of twins.

1. Andre Agassi & Steffi Graf

This is the ultimate Tennis love fairy tale.

Combined, Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf hold 30 Grand Slam singles titles and two Olympic gold medals.

While Agassi had his eye on Graf for years, they didn't officially start dating until 1999, the year they both won the French Open.

They married in 2001 and have since become the gold standard for a successful post-career partnership.
