When you think of British tennis greats, you picture the grit, the glory, the sweat-soaked victories under Centre Court’s blazing lights. But behind the trophies and highlight reels, life off the court can be messier than a five-set thriller in the rain. And now, one of Britain’s most beloved tennis aces has revealed a shock off-court twist: after 15 years of marriage, he has split from his wife and taken the plunge into the world of dating apps.
Fans were left stunned by the revelation, with many calling it “a really sad situation.” For over a decade, the star’s marriage had been as solid as his serve, weathering the ups and downs of fame, travel, and pressure. But like a tiebreak gone wrong, it seems the relationship has finally reached its end.
What’s grabbed headlines, though, is not just the split itself—but the surprising fact that this decorated athlete has turned to the swipe-happy world of dating apps to find companionship. Yes, you read that right. One moment he’s serving aces on grass, the next he’s swiping left on bad bios and grainy selfies.
Sources close to the player describe him as “heartbroken but hopeful.” While the breakup has clearly taken its toll, insiders say he’s determined not to let loneliness be his opponent. Instead, he’s stepping boldly into the modern dating scene, perhaps hoping for a new doubles partner—off the court, at least.
Fans have been quick to rally behind him, flooding social media with messages of support. “He’s always given his all for British tennis,” one follower wrote, “now it’s time he finds happiness for himself.” Another joked, “If he serves as well on a dating app as he does at Wimbledon, he won’t be single for long!”
Still, the emotional weight of the situation can’t be ignored. Fifteen years is a lifetime in the spotlight, and to see it unravel so publicly adds a bittersweet sting. It’s proof that no matter how many trophies you win, life can still deliver a crushing volley.
As fans await his next move on the professional stage, many are now just as invested in his personal comeback story. Will he find love again online? Or will fate serve up something entirely unexpected?
One thing’s for sure: in both tennis and life, this Brit ace isn’t ready to retire his fighting spirit just yet.
