Alex de Minaur has already secured a trophy in Turin! His dream came true as he finally won the ATP Socials ‘Couple Goals’ award with his girlfriend Katie Boulter.
That’s what De Minaur said in his hilarious speech after lifting the tiny award. De Minaur also claimed that Boulter, upon learning that they were given the award, would be crying.
Honestly, at the start of the year, I had a talk with Katie. I sat her down, and I was like ‘We need to take this more seriously because we need to win this award’. Honestly, I would call her right now and tell her that we’ve won the award, but she’s flying, so, it’s a shame. I will let her know, and I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s got some tears of excitement running down her face.
Alex de Minaur said
Fans were waiting for Boulter’s response, and it came on November 14. Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) uploaded Boulter’s reaction on its X handle. The 28-year-old was at the press conference ahead of the Billie Jean King Cup finals and upon being asked about the award, she burst into laughter, before faking tears and giving a hilarious acceptance speech.
In that speech, Boulter also said both she and De Minaur would place the trophy on the mantlepiece in front of the two trophies they both won this year.
This is the moment I’ve been waiting for my whole life (laughs). I need a minute. I mean, I think I need to take my fake trophy and bring it here. I am obviously really proud of this one. This is the one we’ve been aiming for. This is the penultimate, right here. As Alex said, it means everything to us.

Alex de Minaur knocked out of ATP Finals
Alex de Minaur lost all his matches at the ATP Finals. He arrived in the tournament following his quarterfinal defeat at the Paris Masters and lost easily to World No.1 Jannik Sinner in the first match.
Then the Aussie locked horns with Daniil Medvedev and there too he suffered a straight-set defeat. In his last match he played against Taylor Fritz, the 25-year-old won a game for the first time in the tournament as he clinched 7-5 in the first set. But Fritz bounced back and soon wrapped up the match in his favor with a scoreline of 5-7, 6-4, 6-3.
After Novak Djokovic‘s withdrawal from the tournament, De Minaur got the chance to feature and became the first Australian to qualify for the year-end event since Lleyton Hewitt in 2004. De Minaur ended his season with two titles he won at the Mexican Open and the Libema Open.
