Patience is often overlooked in tennis, overshadowed by discussions on physical abilities. Alexei Popyrin's journey illustrates how timing, confidence, and improvements can lead to breakthrough moments.
After winning in Montreal, Alexei Popyrin became the first Australian to claim a Masters 1000 title since 2003. He pushed his ranking to a career-high No 23.
Popyrin expressed a newfound confidence after his Montreal win, emphasizing that it's hard not to feel positive on the court after such a significant achievement.
Coach Patrick Mouratoglou noted that Popyrin had previously struggled with self-belief, but after recent performances, it was evident a switch had been flipped, leading to consistent successes.
