Tennis fans at the Australian Open are speculating about what could be signs of a relationship between top seed Carlos Alcaraz and world famous DJ Peggy Gou, after his win over Alex de Minaur on Tuesday night.
Gou, who will be performing at the Australian Open on Sunday afternoon before the men’s singles final, was spotted cheering Alcaraz on from his players’s box during the quarter-final, which the Spaniard won in straight sets.
After the match, Alcaraz was asked about the renowned South Korean DJ and music producer. “Peggy is a friend, she’s really cool. I’m happy to see her here,” said Alcaraz, before adding: “I’d better win the next round if I want to see her playing [performing]. I’ve got great support from her, which is really cool. Hopefully, I’ll see her play on Sunday.”
Gou was born by the name Kim Min-ji in Incheon, South Korea, on July 3, 1991 and her performance fee is in the six figure-mark, as reported by Britain’s The Daily Mail, with some sources suggesting a starting price of $300,000 (approximately Rs 2.76 crore).
Before the Australian Open, Alcaraz and Gou were also spotted at a dinner date in Seoul, it is learnt.
Some fans are convinced Alcaraz is in love. “He is in looove,” one follower wrote on Instagram. “Bro is struggling to lie. They are clearly not friends,” claimed another online follower.
