Australia’s Alexei Popyrin finally found his footing in 2024. After spending a moderate 2023 trying to overcome 2022’s setbacks, Popyrin finally proved his worth in Montreal. While this victory put a huge smile on his face, Popyrin is now eyeing the American Grand Slam. Teasing his girlfriend after his victory, this Australian tennis star showcases great enthusiasm for the final grand slam of the year. Will Popyrin continue with this brilliant form in the Grand Slam?

In a nerve-wracking match, Popyrin defeated Andrey Rublev by 6-2, 6-4 at the Canadian Open. The Aussie player gained his first Master’s title and his first title of the 2024 season. Popyrin’s girlfriend Amy Pederick has been the Australian’s biggest pillar of success. A physiotherapist by profession, Pederick helps her beau with fitness and training.

As he finally bore fruit with her and his team’s help, post-victory Popyrin couldn’t help but take a funny dig at his girlfriend and said, “This is one of the few weeks where my girlfriend isn’t traveling with me… and I win the tournament. 😂 I hope she comes to New York now.” We will likely see the couple in the grounds of the Flushing Meadows. While they like to keep their personal life close to themselves, Popyrin and Pederick often share their vacation photos on social media.

Popyrin once revealed how he met his partner and the story left fans in sheer amusement. “We went to the class together (in Dubai), so we were in the same math class when we were eight years old and we kind of kept in touch since then,” he said.

Popyrin’s revelations made people see how these two were destined to be with each other. This ATP star further said, “And then when were 18 years old, she was in London and I was there for the Queens (tennis tournament) and we met up, and we have been dating ever since.” Following his statement about Pederick, it wasn’t difficult for people to understand the great bond between them.

While Popyrin’s apple of the eye wasn’t present with him in Montreal, she still cheered her beau on his big win in Montreal. After all, Pederick has been a constant source of moral support for Popyrin.

Alexei Popyrin’s girlfriend is “proud” after her boyfriend’s epic win in Montreal

After the Australian ATP star bagged the Canadian Open, his girlfriend was over the moon. She shared Popyrin’s winning moments on her social media profile and wrote, “Into the finals. Beyond proud, wow.” Pederick further added three heart emojis which perfectly showcased how proud she was. In 2022, Popyrin had a major setback as he couldn’t get past the initial rounds of major events. It also kicked him out of the top 100 that year.

However, Pederick mentioned how her partner worked hard tirelessly and returned to where he used to stand professionally. “It was really tough, mentally – very draining for him and it wasn’t easy. But he stuck through, he grinded, and he pushed through and he trained so hard in pre-season. He has had an insane start to the year in 2023. I am incredibly proud,” she said.

Popyrin’s comments about his girlfriend while winning the Canadian Open showed how love for his belle drove the player to win 1000 points for the first time from one tournament. Popyrin showed that with the right partner, there is nothing that one can’t achieve. Now, on to the US Open.
