Tennis star Anastasia Potapova is currently ranked No.24 in the WTA rankings. Former junior No. 1, Potapova won the girls’ singles title at the 2016 Wimbledon, defeating Dayana Yastremska in the final round. Potapova made her Grand Slam debut as a wildcard entry at the 2017 Wimbledon Championships but failed to move past the first round.
The 22-year-old has, since then, made immense progress in her career. She has won two singles titles and three doubles titles on tour as well. She has been finishing the year-end rankings in the Top 100 for the last four consecutive seasons. In 2023, the Russian reached the Top 50 of the rankings for the first time.
Inspired to pursue tennis by her grandmother and ex-coach, the player started her journey with early success at the junior level. After turning pro, Potapova won her first major event match at the 2019 Australian Open. She has also achieved two doubles titles along with veteran Vera Zvonareva.
In 2020, the player discontinued her season midway due to a major ankle surgery, which led to a drop in rankings. Nevertheless, the new-gen star made an impressive comeback in 2021, reaching her maiden WTA 1000 quarterfinal. This year’s season has been kind to the Russian, albeit being part of a major controversy.
Potapova has been severely criticized for wearing a Spartak Moscow jersey by players such as Iga Swiatek. Her act has been marked as a sign of public support for her native country amidst the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Despite the serious charges by the WTA, Potapova has denied such allegations. Most recently, the youngster reached the quarter-final at the Miami Open.
