After a breakout year, Alexei Popyrin has revealed what changed in 2024, and how he and his compatriots can orchestrate a grand slam breakthrough.
Alexei Popyrin has vowed to use his most recent grand slam breakthrough as a launch pad to success, as he plots a “revenge” mission on Pat Rafter Arena.
He became the first Australian in 21 years to win an ATP Masters 1000 title, a victory in Montreal triggering his rise to the world’s top 30.Then, it was his maiden grand slam fourth-round berth at the US Open, in which he conquered Novak Djokovic. “It has definitely been a good year – an unbelievable year – if you ask me. But I think it could have been really different if I had not won a match in Montreal.“Had I not won a match there, we wouldn’t be talking here – I probably would have needed a wildcard for this tournament.
