Od czasu do czasu potrafi zaskoczyć Popyrin, ale rankingowo dalej tkwi na granicy czwartej i piątej dziesiątki rankingu. Ciekawe, czy jest w stanie zrobić krok do przodu.

Popyrin Upsets Defending Champion Rublev in Monte-Carlo

Spoiler:

Defending Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters champion Andrey Rubelv suffered a surprise opening-round defeat on his return to the Principality on Wednesday when he lost to Australian Alexei Popyrin.

In front of a packed crowd on Court Rainier III, Popyrin delivered an aggressive performance to triumph 6-4, 6-4 after one hour and 40 minutes.

"I enjoyed coming out on centre court for the first time. First tournament on clay of the year and I have good memories from clay last year," said Popyrin, who won a title in Umag on the surface in 2023. "I am feeling really comfortable on it and happy to beat a guy who was in form, confident and the defending champ. It was an awesome match."

The Australian hit with variety and struck 25 winners according to Infosys ATP Stats to earn the sixth Top 10 win of his career and his first against Rublev, with the pair 1-1 in their Lexus ATP Head2Head series. It is just the second time Popyrin has defeated a Top 10 player on clay, having downed then-World No. 10 Felix Auger-Aliassime en route to the fourth round in Rome last year.

"The idea was not to give him the same ball," Popyrin said. "He is probably the best player from the baseline when you give him rhythm, so I tried to change the pace, height and spin and I think it worked really well for me today."

Popyrin is making his fourth appearance in Monte-Carlo with this the first time he has advanced to the third-round stage. The 24-year-old, who clawed past Corentin Moutet in three sets in his first-round match, will next play Alex de Minaur.
