The Wives, Girlfriends, Boyfriends, Husbands And Partners Of Tennis Players

A small but elite group - by Susannah Guthrie

The Wives, Girlfriends, Boyfriends, Husbands And Partners Of Tennis Players

With tournaments like Wimbledon and the Australian Open carrying the stars of the international tennis circuit all around the world with their epic entourages in tow, it's hard not to get caught up in the inherent glamour of the sport and its charismatic, world-famous players.

But just as captivating as the action on-court is the action on the sidelines, where the wives, girlfriends, boyfriends, husbands and partners of tennis's biggest stars congregate to cheer on their significant others.

The players' box is where some of the most fascinating social interactions take place, and it's also a sartorial hot spot. Who could forget, for example, Mirka Federer's sensational engagement ring captivating the crowd at Wimbledon?

With that in mind, we've broken down some of the faces you'll become familiar with when tuning into the tennis—from who they are, to what they do, and how they met their sporty other half.

abby dixon

Abby Dixon, wife of Sam Querrey

America's Sam Querrey has been married to wife Abby Dixon, a model, since 2018, when they tied the knot in a down-to-earth Florida ceremony featuring their French bulldog, Lou, in June 2018. The pair only got engaged months prior to their wedding, in March 2018, when Querrey proposed to Dixon with a stunning round-cut solitaire diamond ring. Dixon gave her husband a shout-out on Instagram in January 2019, writing: "Thanking God this year for giving me a husband who makes the good times great and the bad times bearable."

ash barty

Garry Kissick, boyfriend of Ash Barty

Australian tennis sweetheart Ash Barty has been happily dating amateur golfer Garry Kissick for roughly two years, and he is a fixture at all of her matches. After Barty's 2019 Wimbledon defeat, Kissick shared a sweet tribute to his partner on Instagram, writing: "So proud of everything you have achieved over the past 12 weeks away from home babe and grateful to be able to be with you and watch you play."

news

Jaskon Wade, boyfriend of Johanna Konta

British women's star Johanna Konta keeps a level head on the court thanks to the support of boyfriend Jackson Wade, who she met while he was working as a video and photography manager for the Lawn Tennis Association in 2017. Of her partner, Konta has said: "My boyfriend empowers me. He encourages me to trust my own decisions and be who I am because he says I'm awesome, so therefore I should believe it too."

roberto

Ana Bodi Tortosa, wife of Roberto Bautista Agut

Spanish star Roberto Bautista Agut has been romancing former beauty pageant winner Ana Bodi Tortosa for years, with reports suggesting they've known each other since they were teenagers. The couple keeps a low profile, particularly on social media, save for the occasional holiday shot.

david lee

David Lee, husband of Caroline Wozniacki

Danish world No.3 Wozniacki got engaged to Lee, a retired American professional basketball player, in late 2017, when Lee proposed on holiday in Bora Bora. They married in June 2019 in a ceremony in Tuscany, Italy, where fellow tennis star Serena Williams served as a bridesmaid. Wozniacki was previously engaged to golfer Rory McIlroy, but he broke up with her over the phone in 2014, only days after they'd sent their wedding invitations out. Wozniacki later said it was a blessing in disguise, especially given how happy she is with Lee, who rarely leaves her side as she travels around the world competing.

noura

Noura El Shwekh, wife of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga

Tsonga, the French phenomenon, and Shwekh, who is Swiss, married in July 2018, but they've been together since 2014. The pair welcomed their son, Sugar, in March 2017. Tsonga announced their union on Instagram with a sweet post captioned: "We are family."

nadal

Xisca Perello, wife of Rafael Nadal

One of the longest-lasting couples on the international tennis circuit, Perello and Nadal have been together since 2005, but she's a rare sight at his matches. Spanish like her sporting star husband, Perello is an insurance worker who prefers not to watch Nadal in action. "He needs his space when he is competing, and just the idea of me hanging around and waiting on his needs all day tires me out," she told The Telegraph. The couple got married in a stunning ceremony attended by Spanish royalty in October 2019.

kim murray

Kim Murray, Andy Murray's wife

A British artist, Kim met Murray when her father, a tennis coach, introduced them as teenagers. They've been together ever since, marrying in 2015 and welcoming two daughters: Sophia in 2016 and Edie in 2017. Kim is a vocal supporter of her husband, and has even been caught on camera swearing profusely at some of his matches.

tenis

Ester Berdych, wife of Tomas Berdych

This 27-year-old swimsuit model from the Czech Republic is a glamorous court-side fixture at her husband's matches (check out that blinding engagement ring!) and is all over his Instagram feed too, especially since their 2015 wedding. Berdych's nickname for his doting wife? "Angel".

alexis

Alexis Ohanian and Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr, Serena Williams' husband and daughter

Possibly the cutest fans on the tour, Reddit founder Ohanian and his one-year-old daughter with Williams, Alexis Jr, rarely miss one of mum's matches. Ohanian and Williams wed in November 2017, two months after welcoming Alexis Jr, but they first met back in 2015, when Ohanian sat next to Williams and her friends at an outside table at a Rome hotel restaurant.

tennis

Camille Ringoir, girlfriend of Milos Raonic

Canadian heavyhitter Raonic, 28, is rising up the ranks and Belgian model Ringoir is there to watch. Raonic only recently split from ex-girlfriend Danielle Knudson, a Canadian model, but Ringoir has been in attendance at all his 2019 matches in Australia, suggesting they're already pretty serious.

tennis

Mirka Federer, wife of Roger Federer

Swiss pair Mirka and Roger Federer are the sport's power couple, without a doubt. She's a former pro player herself, while he's the undisputed GOAT of the men's game. Mirka is doubly impressive because she raises not one, but two, sets of twins while travelling around the world to support her husband.
