Alexei Popyrin won the junior Roland Garros in 2017, he was 17 years old at the time. Over the following years, he won several tournaments, but they were of lower rank – Challengers and ATP 250. Only in the last 12 months has he recorded significant successes. At the end of the 2023 season, he played in the Davis Cup final, and this year he won the ATP Masters 1000 in Montreal.
This season also saw Popyrin's best results at Grand Slam tournaments. He achieved his best results on the courts of Wimbledon (third round) and the US Open (fourth round). Interestingly, he was eliminated from the French Open after the first round for the fifth year in a row.
Popyrin proposed to his partner. My friend surprised me with his comment
The Australian of Russian origin has significantly improved his position in the ATP ranking. Two years ago he was outside the top 100. In August, he recorded the best result in his career (23rd place). Today it is one position lower.
The 25-year-old is finally starting to prosper in the world of tennis, but this year is also important for him in his private life. He announced to the world that he proposed to his partner, Amy Pederick. The woman said yes. The couple met when they were children, they were in the same class at school. They have been in a relationship since 2018. Pedrick is also Popyrin's physiotherapist and works with his training staff.
The Australian tennis player showed off several photos from the proposal on social media. “Forever with you,” he added in the description of the Instagram post.
But Flavio Cobolli's comments under this post are a hit. The Italian is in very good relations with Popyrin. He left three comments under his friend's entry, and the first one expressed disbelief. “No, no, no, no,” he wrote. The Italian's behavior was not lost on tennis fans on Redditthey found it funny. They theorized that Cobolli's partner would now be expecting an engagement ring.
The Italian immediately congratulated Popyrin. “Good luck to you, brother,” he wrote in another comment.
