Andy Murray's wife Kim has supported him throughout his tennis career, including cheering him on his return to Wimbledon. The couple married in April 2015 and are parents to four children; Sophia, Edie, Teddie, and Lola. Kim and Andy's romance dates back to 2005, when the couple met at a party in South Africa. The following year their relationship became public knowledge when Andy sweetly ran to Kim's side, to kiss her after winning his first senior title.

The British player confirmed last year she was in a relationship with Norwegian model, tennis player and software engineer Stephen Falck. "I went through a really bad personal time that was not a fun time in my life last year and I really had to work on a lot of things," she told The Telegraph. She confessed that she was previously in a "bad relationship" and that her newfound confidence on the court in 2022 compared with the previous year was down to the happiness she found in her personal life.

"I do believe, if you're happier off the court, you're happier on the court," she said. "It's like any job, if you bring things from home into the workplace, it's very challenging. I definitely feel like I belong a lot more. In previous years I've had some good results, but I've lost some pretty close matches."

Novak Djokovic's wife Jelena Djokovic

Novak Djokovic tends to have his wife Jelena supporting him from the sidelines. The couple married in July 2014, and shared their wedding day exclusively with HELLO! magazine. The big day took place just a few days after Novak scored his second Wimbledon title. Jelena, who runs the Novak Foundation, said of laying eyes on her groom for the first time: "I was seeing him through tears and immediately started crying when I saw him. I was just so happy and probably being pregnant makes it quite difficult to control the emotions.

"I am so blessed to have him in my life. I couldn't ask for a better partner than him." The couple are parents to son Stefan, five, and daughter Tara, who he turns three in September.

The British hopeful is with his girlfriend Louise Jacobi. The couple, who tend to keep a relatively low profile on social media, met at a New York bar in 2019 after being introduced by mutual friends. Last year, US entrepreneur Louise has been spotted courtside during Wimbledon as she cheered on her man. She even broke down in tears after Cameron beat David Goffin to reach his first Wimbledon semi-final. 

She previously gave fans a small insight into the relationship, confessing she wasn't initially interested in Cameron due to his travelling schedule. In October 2019, Louise lost her job - at the time, Cameron asked her to join him at the Vienna Open. "When he asked me, I thought, 'I guess this guy doesn't live a normal life, and it's not like I can meet (him) down the street and go to dinner together,'" she said. "So I went on this trip and was only supposed to be in Vienna for five days, and things just went really well… In some weird way, I was like, 'Thank God I got laid off when I did' because we were able to build the foundation of our relationship before Covid hit."

Matteo Berrettini

The Italian player is romancing TV presenter Melissa Satta, who was previously married to German footballer Kevin Prince Boateng. They were first linked to each other back in January, with Melissa speaking out about the backlash she has faced since their relationship came to light. Fans claim she is to blame for the Italian tennis pro's abdominal injury.

"I receive a lot of messages of insults, bullying and sexism," she told Vanity Fair Italy in May. "I have chosen to be a public figure, and I accept being exposed and exposing myself on social media, but I’m just trying to have a romantic relationship with another person, I simply want to try to be happy too. I'm a normal girl and I live a normal life out of the limelight, why should I be blamed because your partner is having a hard time at his job?"

Matteo later defended Melissa saying: "I cannot conceive how a relationship can allow you not to do your job, but people talk. We live in the era of social media, where everyone can say anything and it seems to me as if general education has been lost. In the end, however, I am happy, this is what matters."

Andrey Rublev

The Russian tennis player is in a relationship with part-time tennis coach Anastasija Homutova. It's been reported that the two met during a practise event in 2016, and immediately embarked on a romance.
