They shared the mix doubles court together and now Nick Kyrgios and Ajla Tomljanovic confirm they're a couple off court, too.
The Aussie pair lost their Australian Open mixed doubles opener to the top-seeded team of Ivan Dodig and Sania Mirza on Saturday then confirmed their long-rumored romance.

"Just being on the court with her, I was in a nice place," Kyrgios said. "We practice a lot together—I know what her tendencies are on court, I know what her strengths are so I know what she likes to do out there. It was easy."
It was a comfortable partnership, but not a winning one. Kyrgios and Tomljanovic fell, 7-5, 6-1.
"It was definitely a first,” Tomljanovic said. “It was fun but I don’t like losing. So at the end of the day I wish we could have done better.”
Rumors of a relationship between the pair were sparked last year after Kyrgios posted an image of the pair together on his Twitter page.
Tomljanovic later sent this tweet "Getting to know each other."
The couple attended the Queensland Tennis Awards together in November and spent time together in Brisbane during the offseason.
