Mover Of The Week: Alexei Popyrin
The twenty-one-year-old Popyrin claimed two victories over the weekend: his first ATP Tour singles title and a career high ranking of eighty-two. It is so rewarding when your hard work pays off. However, spare a thought for his opponent on the other side though; Alexander Bublik, still has not won a title in four tries.
Popyrin Making Moves in 2021
Popyrin turned professional in 2017 and it’s a great feat to win his first title in four years. He has accomplished something many players have failed to accomplish, win a singles title. He got to his first final and won his first title all at the same time in Singapore. Congratulations to the Australian, he has to be pumped. I am curious to see how high he will rise this season.
