Another tennis wedding! Julia Goerges and Wesley Koolhof tie the knot

Cheers to another happy tennis couple! Former Top 10 player Julia Goerges and recently-retired ex-doubles world No. 1 Wesley Koolhof recently tied the knot, just weeks after Koolhof helped the Dutch Davis Cup team to a runner-up finish at the 2024 Davis Cup Finals.

The couple revealed their engagement at the start of the 2024 season, with playing-captain Koolhof famously admitting that he popped the question to Goerges before flying to Australia to compete at the United Cup, and catching his Dutch teammates Arantxa Rus and Demi Schuurs by happy surprise.

They were married on Dec. 14 (less than a month after another ATP-WTA couple, Bjorn Fratangelo and Madison Keys, wed in Charleston) at the luxe Landgoed Hotel & Restaurant Groot Warnsborn in Koolhof's homeland, a four-star resort situated near De Hoge Veluwe National Park in the Dutch city of Arnhem located near the border with Germany, Goerges' home country.

Former world No. 9 Goerges, a seven-time champion on the WTA tour and a semifinalist at Wimbledon in 2018, retired from tennis four years ago and had since been a fixture in Koolhof's player box as he rose to the top of the rankings in men's doubles.

He spent 34 weeks as the world's top doubles player, first rising to the summit in 2022, and won 21 ATP Tour doubles titles, including the 2023 Wimbledon title with Brit Neal Skupski, and the 2020 ATP Finals year-end trophy partnering Nikola Mektic. He revealed at the end of the 2023 season that 2024 would be his last year on tour, saying that competing at the Paris Olympics was chief among his season goals.

"I'm\] very happy with how this year has gone, personally and on the tennis court. Happy to say goodbye to this year on a high note," [Koolhof told the ATP website after getting hitched. "I'm looking forward to spending some time with Julia and the dogs at home."

He called his career send-off in Malaga, where he and Botic van de Zandschulp secured a famous deciding victory against Spain in the quarterfinals, sending Rafael Nadal into retirement, "a very special moment."

"In the end, [it was] kind of a dream scenario, playing the last deciding match against Spain," he said. "A lot of emotions on that day for all of us... If you look back at it, it was probably the best way to end my career."
