Katie Boulter, the newest No.1 in British women’s tennis, headed out in Chelsea with her tennis star boyfriend Alex De Minaur for some retail therapy on Thursday.
The tennis star, 26, took to the spotlight after she replaced Emma Raducanu in the rankings, claiming her first WTA title in Nottingham Open two weeks ago.
In just a few days the star will step out again on court to begin her latest Wimbledon campaign.
Ahead of her next gruelling challenge, Katie stepped out in sunny London to spend some relaxing time with her Australian hunk, 24.
She donned a pair of pink tweed shorts by Paris fashion label Maje and paired her ensemble with a white cropped shirt featuring oversized shoulders.

The tennis star strolled hand in hand with Alex on Kings road as the new ‘It couple’ of tennis.
Katie showed off her toned torso and slender legs out and about in the city and too Alex showed off his tanned legs.
The couple looked as loved up as ever as they opted for matching white trainers, while Katie accessorised with a pink and white Nike rucksack.
The beauty went make-up free as she showed off her bare-faced beauty and bleach blonde tresses which were tied half-up, half-down.
Alex wore a baseball cap backwards and sported a trendy, casual look in a grey T-shirt and blue shorts.
Alex and Katie have been dating since 2020 and live nearby in west London.
Speaking about her relationship, Katie admitted it had been a slow burner between the pair.
She said: ‘We sort of knew each other beforehand, but we never had a coffee or dinner or anything like that.’

‘On the tennis tour, you see a lot of people but you don’t necessarily know them.’
‘I couldn’t ask for any better. He’s the best support I’ve got.’
The Leicester-born star, who was brought up by her single mum Sue, now carries the hopes of British tennis fans after US Open winner Emma was forced out of this year’s Wimbledon through injury.
Katie posted a photo of herself holding the trophy after the tournament and Alex replied: ‘Not too sure what’s more impressive, the title or the biceps.’
Alex is ranked 18th in the world and placed runner-up in last week’s Queen’s Club Championships and won over the Wimbledon crowds last year with a shout out to Katie.
After beating Jack Draper in the second round, he said: ‘Before we talk about my match, can we just talk about Katie Boulter today? I mean, she had a pretty good win herself.’
Katie has several major endorsement deals including with Airbnb, Jaguar and Range Rover.
Katie featured as the August edition of Tatler magazine as its cover star posing in a chic Ralph Lauren outfit with gold jewellery dangling down.

Katie suggested that she uses commercial opportunities to boost her confidence.
However, unlike Emma, Katie hasn’t yet suffered criticism, rightly or wrongly for using the opportunities.
It helps her believe that she belongs at the top of the British rankings and, indeed, on front covers as she faces Barbora Krejcikova, the Czech ranked 10th in the world, in Eastbourne today.
