Alex de Minaur and Katie Boulter announced their engagement on Monday, but in a couple of weeks' time, they could be going head-to-head on the tennis court. The pair beamed as they surprised their followers on Instagram on Monday announcing that they'd been 'keeping a secret' that the 25-year-old Aussie tennis star had popped the question.

It's been a whirlwind year for both players who have enjoyed great success on both the ATP and WTA Tours, with the tennis power couple picking up two titles each, while De Minaur also clinched the Ultimate Tennis Championship in December. But the pair will once again lock horns as Australia and Great Britain were drawn in the same group for the United Cup, which is set to start on December 27.

Great Britain and Australia are set to square off on the final day of the round robin, and there is every chance Boulter, 28, and De Minaur could square off against each other in the mixed doubles event, following the singles ties. 'I wouldn’t say I was thrilled at the idea of playing him all over again,' Boulter told Eurosport.
