Tennis stars Katie Boulter and Alex de Minaur have secretly married at an intimate church ceremony on the final day of Wimbledon.
The former British no.1 tied the knot with her long-time partner De Minaur, who is the current Australian no.1 singles player, just days after competing at the Championships.

The wedding was only attended by a small congregation of family with a wedding breakfast at a local pub afterwards.
Boulter stunned in a long, bateau-necked white gown, arriving unconventionally together in a black Porsche Carrera, driven by De Minaur, who also looked the part in a black tuxedo.
At the same time, play was getting underway in the men’s singles final between Italy’s Jannik Sinner and Germany’s Alexander Zverev.
Just days before the secret nuptials, De Minaur had been competing in the Round of 16 game at Wimbledon, but lost out to world no.9 Flavio Cobolli.

It was also understood that Boulter’s grandfather, who has been receiving hospital care, was able to attend the ceremony.
A source told the Mail that Boulter is “exceptionally close with him” and was “delighted” to spend time with him as he was assisted into the church.
The pair were also married by a female vicar at the top secret ceremony, the same publication said.
A party for wider friends, family, and tennis royalty is expected to take place later this week.
Both Boulter and de Minaur have won Grand Slam titles in their careers, often being spotted in the crowds of one another’s matches during their six-year romance.
