The Australian, one of 14 in the men’s draw at Flushing Meadows, hopes to back up his Montreal success with a deep run in New York
Alexei Popyrin is slated to meet Novak Djokovic in the third round of the US Open but is focusing only on his next match.Alexei Popyrin is slated to meet Novak Djokovic in the third round of the US Open but is focusing only on his next match.
Ben Shelton, Grigor Dimitrov, Hubert Hurkacz, Seb Korda and then, in the final, Andrey Rublev, all discovered just how good Popyrin can be when he puts everything together. “Confidence levels are definitely high right now,” Popyrin said. “I think it’s hard not to have high confidence after a win like that. It’s definitely a good feeling getting on the tennis court and having such confidence. Hopefully that can stay for a while.
Popyrin is one of 14 Australian men in the main draw at this year’s US Open, led by Alex de Minaur, who returns from the hip injury he suffered at Wimbledon. With Popyrin also seeded, hopes are high that one of them, at least, could make a strong run. It’s surely no coincidence that the increasing numbers have come at a time when Hewitt has been ever-present through his role as Australia’s Davis Cup captain.
