He asked, and she said yes ... times two! Anastasia Pavlychenkova and Cameron Norrie each took the next step in their respective relationships over the weekend as each got engaged to their longtime partners.

The happy couples debuted their new status in posts to Instagram over the weekend.

Norrie popped the question to Louise Jacobi, his girlfriend of six years, during a trip to South Africa, where Norrie was born.

“A special moment on our trip,” the couple posted alongside pictures of the pair smooching and on safari. “Cheers to a beautiful life together with my best friend.”

The British No. 2, who rebounded in the second half of 2025 to a year-end ranking of No. 27, met Jacobi at the 2019 US Open.

Pavlyuchenkova, meanwhile, said "Yes!" to her boyfriend of two years, Mathias, while on holiday in the Maldives. In 2025, the 34-year-old reached two more Grand Slam quarterfinals, at the Australian Open and Wimbledon, to bring her career total to 10.

The 2021 Roland Garros finalist has been dating Mathias publicly for two years, first posting photos with him at the 2023 US Open. Speaking exclusively to TENNIS.com in New York a year later, Pavlyuchenkova said that although her beau doesn't come from a tennis background, he's taken a vested interest in her career. At one stage of their relationship, she traveled the tour with a team made up of just him and hitting partner Yannick Mertens.

“I'm so grateful because he’s been super supportive pushing me through,” she said. “He’s the one who believes in me most, even more than I do. That helps and that’s very important for me, especially at this stage of my career.

“After traveling so much with me and watching all this tennis, he’s starting to understand it better but still, it’s a different perspective from someone who grew up in the sport. Luckily, he’s not coaching me anymore, so it’s just nice to have his support.”
