Love on and off the court: Newlyweds Anastasia Potapova and Alexander Shevchenko face defeat at Australian Open

They want to go through life together, and now they even flew out of the Australian Open together!

This is not how Anastasia Potapova (22) and Alexander Shevchenko (23) imagined their marriage would start in sport. In Melbourne it was over within hours for the newlyweds on Monday.

Potapova lost against the Slovenian Kaja Juvan (23) 1:6, 4:6, her husband against the Spaniard Jaime Munar (26) 3:6, 3:6, 1:6. The pair didn’t even win a set. Things have to be going really well in love, given all the bad luck involved.

On December 5th, the Russians tied the knot in St. Petersburg, and a week later they made their happiness public after getting engaged in September 2023. “Mr&Mrs Shevchenko,” wrote Potapova, who will continue to play under her maiden name on the tour.

The special thing: The wedding was broadcast live on Instagram. “It’s always nice to have someone on tour who understands you. Even when I mess up, he always supports me,” Potapova said last year.

However, the number of tournaments they can play together is very limited. Apart from the four Grand Slams, there are only a few Masters that have women’s and men’s competition at the same time. Some tournaments have women and men back to back.

By the way, neither of them are the first married couple in tennis. The Ukrainian Elina Svitolina (29), who has been married to the Frenchman Gael Monfils (37) since 2021, is currently on tour. By the way, these two survived the first round in Melbourne.

There are also currently marriages between players and coaches. The most famous: Petra Kvitova (33) with Jiri Vanek (45) and Tatjana Maria (36) with Charles-Edouard Maria (49). Like Svitolina and Monfils, these two couples are already parents or, in the case of Kvitova and Vanek, will be.

So far it is up to Potapova and Shevchenko but not yet.
