Tennis star Michael Venus will walk up the aisle with his English rose, Sally Trafford, Spy has learned, and they'll spark a summer of sporting weddings.
The 32-year-old doubles star proposed to Trafford on the roof of the O2 Arena in London after he reached the semi-finals of the ATP Masters two years ago. Since then the couple have had baby daughter Lila.
Spy understands the nuptials will be in January — but it's not clear if it will be a Northern Hemisphere winter wedding or a summer wedding back home in New Zealand. The ASB Classic Doubles contracts aren't confirmed until Christmas Eve, which, if Venus is participating, would make for an eventful trip home.

The wedding spree crosses the sporting code divide with stars from rugby, league, netball and motor racing all due to tie the knot over the next couple of months.
