Tennis: Alexei Popyrin has handed Novak Djokovic his earliest Grand Slam defeat in seven years, taking him down in a stunning upset at the US Open.
Why Alexei Popyrin believes toppling Novak Djokovic in New York wasn’t the greatest win of his careerSeptember 1st, 2024 6:32 am
Current world No.1 Jannik Sinner and Swiss superstar Roger Federer are among those reeled in by the best to play the sport in the past. It is the most famous win of Popyrin’s career but, as he said when speaking to the press after 1am on Saturday in New York, it is not the best he has ever played, nor is it the most important moment of his career.
“I think the way I composed myself and the way I tactically played the match, that was up there with one of the best matches that I have played. But the level, yeah, it was high, but ... honestly, I have had matches where I have won one and one and I’ve have played a match where I’ve hit 50 winners and 50 unforced errors. It was kind of like that.”
