Alex de Minaur's fiancee Katie Boulter can't get enough of her partner's new physique after the Aussie tennis star bulked up over the last several years - and it's also paying off on the court. Earlier in the week, the 25-year-old treated his followers to an image of himself with his biceps rippling in a sleeveless top accompanied by the caption 'Prep done.... Go time now', with fellow Aussie stars like Alexi Popyrin and Matt Ebden giving it the thumbs-up.

However, Boulter was having none of it, writing, 'Stop trying to thirst trap you have a fiancé,' referring to the slang for a post on social media that's intended to make people attracted to them. And it's not just Boulter who has noticed the Aussie's ripped physique.

Fans at this year's Australian Open have posted about the increase in muscle on De Minaur's frame. Last year, the World No.8 revealed he had added about seven kilograms of muscle to his body over three years. Alex de Minaur has added substantial muscle to his frame over the last several years.

The Aussie's strength and conditioning program is paying off on the court too. 'Each year is different. You look at the year as a whole. What you want to work on, what you want to improve,' de Minaur said. 'This year we are trying to bulk up, put on a little more muscle … to get more strength and more speed on my serve and groundstrokes, all these things. It is all combined. I don't diversify my training in any way. I do everything on every day.
