Love is definitely in the air for Alexei Popyrin!

Balancing love and sport, he’s proving that even in the midst of the US Open drama, there’s always time to appreciate the ones who stand by your side.
Pederick recently shared a series of posts on her Instagram from her vacation in Italy. In one of these posts, she can be seen in a stunning black dress as she enjoys a view of the sea. She can also be seen enjoying the sun in yet another post she shared. Among the comments she received, the one that caught the attention of the fans was that of Popyrin.

.” Popyrin’s love life with Pederick came into the picture in 2019, the same time when the Australian had his first Grand Slam main-draw match win on the ATP tour.
By performing in back-to-back tournaments, like the Australian Open, Indian Wells, Monte Carlo, French Open, and Wimbledon, Popyrin gained much popularity on the ATP circuit. As a result, he even went to World No. 99 in singles in June. While he was busy having a breakthrough year, Popyrin’s girlfriend, Pederick, focused on her profession as a physiotherapist. Popyrin’s love for Pederick can be seen in yet another comment.

In another post, he commented, “WOW WOW WOWO 
” Pederick was quick to respond to this comment and wrote, “my love .” The couple has had great times together. Having graduated in physiotherapy, the Brit, who is around 24 years old, started helping his boyfriend with his training and fitness, thus supporting his tennis career in a big way.
The couple went to the same math class when they were as young as eight and kept in touch since then. Slowly, this friendship developed into a lifelong relationship for the two. But even this amazing story had its own share of struggles. However, the couple managed to overpower them together.
When Alexei Poyrin’s girlfriend revealed a difficult time in the player’s life
Alexei Popyrin has slowly emerged as one of the formidable faces on the tennis courts. But he faced quite challenging times in his career. In 2022, Popyrin struggled to get past the first rounds of multiple events. By the end of that year, he was only able to win one ATP Challenger tour title at the BNP Paribas Primrose Bordeaux and had fallen out of the Top 100.
Speaking about this difficult time with Today, Popyrin’s girlfriend said, “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. Every single day, he was on the court for hours. He tried everything, mentally.”
Continuing further, the physiotherapist revealed that Alexei Popyrin appointed a nutrition coach and continued to work on his skills, which helped him ponce back. Currently ranked at 28, it can be rightly said that his girlfriend has seen him rising from the ashes and has lent huge support to the star player.
As the US Open unfolds, it would be interesting to see if the star player can pose some crucial challenges ahead of Nole in the third round.
