The American tennis player recently spoke about their relationship, noting how Girard’s company has been crucial during his time Down Under.

"We've been spending a lot of quality time together because I didn't see her for about six weeks before this. So, I've been spending a lot of time with her," Alex Michelsen told the ATP Tour.

"We'll just chill out, watch the matches. It's a lot more fun to have company in the room. I like being alone, but it’s so much better to have her company with me," the American added.
