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

A small but elite group

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.
