Popyrin optimistic for his country: Australian tennis is on the right track.

Alexei Popyrin has entered a new dimension in 2024.

He enjoyed a strong second half of the season, winning the first Masters 1000 of his career against Rublev in Canada in August.

He then beat Djokovic in the third round of the US Open to reach his highest ever ATP ranking (23rd). The Australian looks back on his last few months and those of his country in general.

The Oceania nation was a Davis Cup semi-finalist in November before losing out to eventual winners Italy.

"So far, 2024 has been the best season of my career. Australian tennis is on the right track. Jordan (Thompson) has had a fantastic year, both in singles and doubles.

Matthew (Ebden) and John (Peers) won gold medals, and Alex (De Minaur) consolidated his place in the top 10.

Max (Purcell) also performed well in doubles, and Olivia (Gadecki) made tremendous progress, breaking into the top 100 and reaching the final at the WTA 500 in Guadalajara.

It's incredible for our tennis. It's been a memorable year for everyone, and we're all hoping to win titles, of course," he elaborated for Tennis Australia.
