The first time Tara Moore and Conny Perrin attempted a relationship, it ended in a split.
The two professional tennis players, who were introduced in 2011 by a mutual friend at a tournament in France, found it too difficult to sustain a relationship through the constant travel of the tour and often separate schedules. Perrin, from Switzerland, even prefers playing on clay, the least favorite surface of Moore, a Hong Kong-born Londoner.
But they learned how to manage a life together and apart on the tennis tour, and now Moore and Perrin are believed to be the first active players in the WTA to be engaged to one another.
