Tennis power couple Alex de Minaur and Katie Boulter are both dreaming big ahead of the Australian Open – and they looked relaxed as they shared a kiss outside their Sydney hotel.

They also reportedly are flying to Melbourne in a private jet ahead of de Minaur’s home slam. 

‘Demon’ will be seeded eighth in the men’s singles as he looks to advance beyond the fourth round for the first time in his career.

He is likely have a spring in his step following his recent engagement to British star Boulter. 

It comes as Aussie tennis legend Lleyton Hewitt declared de Minaur is good enough to win a maiden grand slam on home soil.

Hewitt himself went close in 2005, losing the final to Russian star Marat Safin.

‘I’m just so happy for Alex to be back playing like he wants to,’ Hewitt said.

‘Only probably his close-knit team know exactly what he’s been dealing with and how frustrating that’s been, and he still kept showing up and giving 100 per cent and not making excuses.

‘It’s been great to see him pain-free and moving the way that he wants to.

‘The court and everything else starts coming together.

‘And, like he always says, it’s about embracing this month of the year and enjoying the moments.’

Meanwhile, de Minaur won’t be the only Australian man given seeding protection, with Canadian Open winner Alexei Popyrin currently ranked number 24 and Jordan Thompson number 27.

It will be the first time since 1982 that three home-based men will be seeded in the singles.

The Australian Open begins on January 12.
