Katie Boulter is already looking ahead to her showdown with tennis star boyfriend Alex De Minaur after ending her 2023 season on a high. The world No 57 helped Britain win their Billie Jean King Cup tie over the weekend and will start next year with another team competition, the United Cup. GB will face Australia, pitting Boulter against De Minaur, and the British No 1 has already joked that she\u2019ll see if they\u2019re \u201cstill together\u201d after the contest.<\/p>\n

Boulter helped her nation stay in the top flight of the BJK Cup over the weekend, winning both of her singles rubbers as Britain beat Sweden 3-1. It marks an end to the 27-year-old\u2019s career-best season, in which she won her maiden WTA Tour title, broke the world\u2019s top 50 and reached two Grand Slam third rounds.<\/p>\n

Instead of taking a well-earned break during the off-season, the British No 1 is already eager to start working for next year as she starts 2024 at the United Cup, where Britain will face Australia and the United States. It means that Boulter is set to face her boyfriend De Minaur, Australia\u2019s No 1 player.<\/p>\n

And the Brit has already joked that it could break them up, given their dedication to playing for their respective countries. \u201cWe respect each other as competitors and also off the court as well,\u201d Boulter told PA.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure we\u2019ll talk about it when we get a little closer to it but we\u2019re both going to put our heart on the line for our countries. I know he\u2019s country proud, I know I\u2019m country proud, so we\u2019ll see if we\u2019re still together by the end of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Boulter set to start her season Down Under at the mixed-gender team tournament, she is already eyeing new goals for 2024 after reaching a career-high of No 50 this year. She continued: \u201cI\u2019ve got a few different goals in my mind. I want to build on this year, I really want to get my feet inside the line, which I already have but now I\u2019ve got to stay there, I\u2019ve got to win these matches week in, week out, beating the top girls.<\/p>\n
