The first Grand Slam of the year is in full swing Down Under, but distracting from the play on-court are the Wives And Girlfriends (WAGS) in the stands.

From an OnlyFans model to a circus performer to Rafael Nadal’s longtime partner … tennis’ superstars are in relationships with a cosmopolitan bevy of beauties.

Let’s take a closer look …

CAMILLE RINGOIR

Canadian ace Milos Raonic is dating Brazilian stunner Camille Ringoir.

The 28-year-old beauty isn’t shy to share her jaw-dropping snaps on her social media pages.

VANESSA SIERRA

Nick Kyrgios isn’t the only ‘bad boy’ of Australian tennis – Bernard Tomic isn’t far behind!

Tomic’s girlfriend Vanessa Sierra is familiar to many Down Under having starred in ‘Love Island’ and has made a name for herself on X-rated subscription site ‘OnlyFans’.

The heavily-tattooed Sierra is a prolific poster on social media – and clearly isn’t scared of snakes!

BRITTANY HOCKLEY

Australian player Jordan Thompson and his reality star girlfriend Brittany Hockley, only confirmed their relationship this week.

Hockley, 34, starred in Australia’s The Bachelor in 2018, where she was famously dumped in the season’s finale.

Sharing a photo with her new man on social media, she wrote: “And that’s me. Game, set, match, love. Or however it goes.”

FLAVIA PENNETTA

Italian favourite Fabio Fognini has some strong support at home from his wife Flavia, 38, who he’s been married to since 2016.

The pair, who share two children, have tennis in common as Flavia is a former player herself.

She regularly shows off her figure by the sea or poolside in skimpy bikinis.

LILI PAUL RONCALLI

Austrian star Dominic Thiem is among the favourites at this year’s tournament – and cheering him on is German contortionist girlfriend Lili Paul Roncalli.

Lili Paul, 22, has made the headlines in her own right in the past, having won German dance contest Let’s Dance in 2020.

Thiem recently said of their relationship, “It’s all very fresh, the last few weeks have been nice.”

Lili Paul’s Instagram is full of photos of her performing, posing – and by the pool.

MARIA FRANCISCA PERELLO

Maria Francisca Perello prefers to keep her romantic life with Spanish star Rafael Nadal behind closed doors.

After dating for around 15 years ago, the pair finally tied the knot in October 2019.

Perello is project director for the Rafa Nadal Foundation which her husband launched more than a decade ago.

THEODORA PETALAS

Finally, Stefanos Tsitsipas has been dubbed the ‘Greek God’, but when it comes to his romantic life, he keeps it largely under wraps.

He’s thought to have been dating brunette beauty Theodora Petalas for around two years.
