Can a single match define a career? For Alexei Popyrin, his stunning upset of Novak Djokovic at the US Open 2024 might just be that moment. It cemented his status as a force to be reckoned with in the world of professional tennis.
The Australian, born on August 5, 1999, in Sydney, has been steadily climbing the ranks since turning pro in 2017. While the victory over Djokovic undoubtedly catapulted him into the spotlight, Popyrin's journey has been one of consistent hard work, dedication, and a deep-rooted passion for the sport. His parents, Elena and Alex Popyrin, both of Russian descent, instilled in him a love for tennis from a young age, enrolling him in the Kim Warwick Tennis Academy at just four years old.
