With tennis season in full swing, it seems you can’t go anywhere—well, not at Vogue HQ, anyway—without overhearing some gossip from “the Open.” But the actual athletic goings-on at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center are only part of the draw—the who’s-in-the-stands-with whom intrigue at the US Open is just as appealing.
So, we’re connecting all the dots for you. Tennis has had its share of power couples over the decades (Chris and Jimmy! Steffi and Andre! Roger and Mirka! Art and Tashi!), but who are all of today’s top players dating? Below, find a guide to five of the hottest couples in tennis.
Taylor Fritz and Morgan Riddle
Once you’re crowned a “Chanel-Clad Tennis WAG,” you’re officially in the tennis discourse—though that’s not the only brand Morgan Riddle has repped during her four-year-long courtship with American Taylor Fritz, who will play for his first Grand Slam title at this afternoon’s men’s singles final at the US Open. At last Friday’s semifinal match between Fritz and fellow American Frances Tiafoe (more on him later), Riddle—a Los Angeles-based influencer who met Fritz on Raya (!)—opted for a skirt suit by Thom Browne.
Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Badosa
Tsitsipas and Badosa’s on-again-off-again relationship appears to be officially on, with Tsitsipas joining his girlfriend, the 2021 Indian Wells women’s singles champion, for mixed doubles at this year’s US Open. “We’re looking forward to it, it’s really nice to share the court together,” Badosa has said. “We spend time off court, but also on court. It’s really special in a Slam. It’s like a dream come true. Big shout out to him. He’s going through tough moments—but he’s a champion and he will always be a champion.”
Jannik Sinner and Anna Kalinskaya
“Yes, I’m with Anna, but we keep everything very confidential. I won’t say more,” the Italian tennis star reportedly said in May. True to his word, Sinner hasn’t engaged much publicly on the topic of his relationship with Kalinskaya—his Moscow-born girlfriend (who is a high-ranking tennis player in her own right)—since, although the two did appear together at the French Open this year.
Frances Tiafoe and Ayan Broomfield
Tiafoe—one of the four (!) American players to reach the semis at the US Open this year, though he ultimately fell to Taylor Fritz—has been seeing Canadian tennis player Ayan Broomfield since 2015, and as yet another tennis-for-tennis ultra-pair, they’re clearly well-matched. “He has so much support here in the States; I think they really have taken him in and they have his back,” Broomfield said of her beau during the Open. “Older, younger, men, women, everyone is just really, really behind him—they support him.”
Gaël Monfils and Elina Svitolina
While some couples on the dual-tennis-star partnership track are still establishing themselves, this French-Ukrainian couple have been together since 2018, marrying in 2021. They welcomed a daughter, Skai, in 2022.
