During the 2024 United Cup, Great Britain and Australia landed in the same group meaning Katie Boulter and Alex de Minaur were up against each other. While de Minaur lost the singles match, Boulter won but fell in doubles.

As fate would have it, a year later Great Britain and Australia landed in the same group again meaning the now-engaged couple will have a rematch. Speaking about her thoughts on their match to Sky Sports, Boulter said this was a good chance to attain bragging rights over her other half:

"I wouldn't say that I was thrilled at the idea of playing him all over again. He's a top-10 player and he knows how to play tennis so there is one side of it. There is a personal side of it as well which is difficult but also great for bragging rights. I'm looking forward to the match of course.

I think it's going to be a great atmosphere. Playing Australia is always going to be fun. It's another opportunity for us, we're definitely the underdogs so let's put pressure on them."

De Mianur called the situation "surreal" and thought the tie between the countries would be interesting.
