Alexei Popyrin is facing a difficult period after a disappointing Australian summer. He suffered a first-round exit at Melbourne Park, losing to Corentin Moutet in four sets.
Popyrin had a strong 2024, winning a Masters 1000 title in Montreal and reaching the fourth round at the US Open. However, he has struggled to maintain that form in 2025.
Popyrin admitted that he needs to take some time to reflect on his performance and make adjustments. He is determined to improve and bounce back from this setback.
Popyrin's injury and illness have also contributed to his recent struggles. He is hopeful that he will recover within a few weeks and be able to return to competition soon.
Despite the challenges he is facing, Popyrin remains optimistic about the future. He is confident that he can overcome these obstacles and achieve his goals.

Popyrin's blaming his loss on injury and illness? Sounds like an excuse to me. Fix your mentality before your backhand!

His fitness was embarrassing. Gassed out in the third set? Maybe lay off the cheeseburgers.
