'I learned from Murray' - Boulter won't make wedding ring mistake
Andy Murray has long been a guiding figure for British tennis, but newly-married Katie Boulter will not be following his lead when it comes to keeping her wedding ring safe as she prepares for the US Open.
Katie Boulter, the newlywed Australian tennis player, has vowed not to repeat British tennis legend Andy Murray's infamous mistake of losing his wedding ring. Murray lost his ring during a practice session in California in 2021 after he had left it attached to his shoe laces inside his trainers. Boulter, who married Australia's world number seven, Alex de Minaur this summer, confessed she learned from Murray not to wear her ring during matches.
Boulter and De Minaur exchanged vows in a small, private ceremony in England before a larger celebration in Tuscany, Italy. During the Italian wedding, Boulter admitted her scepticism about De Minaur's speech preparation, but was moved by his performance, which left her "permanently crying" for hours. Post-wedding, Boulter has immediately returned to training for the US Open, expressing concern about adapting to different conditions in the United States compared to the UK.
The US Open features a first-round match for Boulter against Carol Young Suh Lee, ranked 143rd globally.
