The Australian Open kicked off on January 8 and is currently underway in Melbourne, which means the top tennis pros from all around the world are facing off to see who will take home the trophy during the finals on January 23 – and many of the US players were accompanied by their stunning and glamorous girlfriends on the trip.
While some of the sports stars’ partners do their best to stay out of spotlight, others often flaunt the lavish perks that come with dating a famous athlete – which includes trips around the globe, stays in five-star resorts, invites to elite parties, and of course, courtside seats to support their beaus.
A few of the tennis pros’ WAGs have even become viral stars themselves after they began sharing an intimate look into what it’s really like being the girlfriend or wife of a sports star.

As the event continues in Melbourne, FEMAIL went ahead and rounded up all the women who have won the US players’ – and the internet’s – hearts.

Tommy Paul and Paige Lorenze
While it’s unclear when 25-year-old US player Tommy Paul and popular social media star Paige Lorenze, 24, started dating, they first started popping up on each other’s social media accounts in October 2022
And since then, Paige, who has more than 191,000 followers on TikTok and 398,000 on Instagram, has continuously shared a behind-the-scenes look into the perks of dating a professional athlete
She often documents exquisite trips around the world to places like Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, France (seen), and most recently, Melbourne for the Australian Open

She often documents exquisite trips around the world to places like Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, France, and most recently, Melbourne for the Australian Open.
On TikTok earlier this week, she shared a video entitled ‘Melbourne Vlog,’ which detailed some of the things she and Tommy have been up to during their time in the country.
The TikTok included a montage of clips that showed them walking around the city together while holding hands, cozying up and sharing in a romantic kiss on the sidewalk, eating a delicious-looking breakfast, and enjoying their fancy hotel room.
Some parts also showed Paige watching her beau play tennis from the front row.
Paige – a former professional skier – previously made headlines for her relationship with Armie Hammer, whom she started dating in 2020 after meeting over social media.
They were in a ‘polyamorous open relationship’ for about five months before splitting in December of that year, and she later accused the actor of using a knife to carve the letter A into her groin area before licking the blood from the wound.
She spoke out about the ‘deeply traumatic’ four-month relationship, which she said left her emotionally and physically scarred, exclusively to DailyMailTV in 2021.
The blond beauty claimed that Armie was fixated on biting her body, begging her to allow him to take lumps of flesh from her arm, before consuming them. She also said he asked her to have her ribs removed, so that he could barbecue them.

‘I want Armie to address his demons, see the pain and trauma that he has caused me and other women,’ she said at the time. ‘He told me there’s a whole community that will do this stuff, that it was not criminal.
‘He really thought that his fantasies were normal behavior in the BDSM, non-normative, sexual kink community. I thought that this is what it was. I thought I was safe.
‘But any man who is fantasizing about crushing bones, eating them, having sex with female limp bodies is a danger to all women.
‘And this is not me kink shaming, I want that to be clear. His actions and behavior are dangerous and emotionally and psychologically damaging.

In a statement to DailyMail.com afterwards, Armie’s lawyer said: ‘These assertions about Mr. Hammer are patently untrue.’ He and Paige are seen in December 2020
‘He is saying people are kink shaming him and should not comment on his sex life, but BDSM is a smoke screen for him wanting to hurt women.
‘You can be just as traumatized by consensual sex. It’s unacceptable that he coerces women into agreeing to let him hurt them.’
In a statement to DailyMail.com afterwards, Armie’s lawyer said: ‘These assertions about Mr. Hammer are patently untrue.
‘Any interactions with this person, or any partner of his, were completely consensual in that they were fully discussed, agreed upon, and mutually participatory.’
Paige, originally from Guilford, Connecticut, is a graduate of New York City’s Parsons School of Design, and she has founded her own loungewear company called Dairy Boy.

Following her split from Armie, she was briefly linked to a few other famous faces – including country music singer Morgan Wallen and The Bachelorette’s Tyler Cameron, before entering into a relationship with Tommy (seen together in January)
After she and Tyler broke up, Paige (seen last year) claimed she felt like he was ‘using her’ and that he only dated her because he wanted ‘some media storm’

‘This might sound narcissistic because he has a pretty insane following, but I felt like he was using me. I don’t know, I felt like he wanted some media storm,’ she sated.
‘He was looking at my story views, and I was getting more story views than him, and he… literally, word-for-word said, “I need a scandal,” like joking.
‘I don’t like that about myself, but I do have some s*it in the media about me… especially around my relationships.’

In another TikTok, which has been watched more than three million times, she said she was determined to make tennis ‘cool’ again while sharing various facts about it.
‘I’m Morgan, I traveled the world on the ATP tour with my boyfriend, who is the number one American tennis player,’ she said in it. ‘I know that tennis is relatively uncool and unknown in America, so here’s what you should know.
‘Unlike most sports, tennis is a year-round sport except for four weeks off in December. Players compete in tournaments in 31 countries in cities like Dubai, Paris, Shanghai, London, Rome, Cabo, and many more.

‘What are they playing for? Besides glory and hundreds of millions of dollars in prize money, players are competing for points. Each tournament gives a certain amount of points and the better you do, the more points you get.
‘The more points you have, the higher your ranking is. And your ranking basically refreshes every year. No pressure.
‘Tennis tournaments are not your casual sporting event with hot dogs and beer, you can expect champagne, strawberries and cream, Nobu, and getting to wear really cute outfits.’
