Tennis’ newest power couple revealed as World No 51 lets slip relationship with co-star on Maldives holiday
The Russian was previously married to another ATP star
ANASTASIA POTAPOVA and Tallon Griekspoor appear to be tennis’ latest power couple.
The Russian, 24, has been on holiday following the end of another gruelling tennis season.
Potapova was last in action in October, when she reached the China Open’s round of 16.
She has since jetted to the Maldives… and was seemingly joined by Dutchman Griekspoor.
The world No25 has also finished his season, after pulling out of the Moselle Open last week.
Both players have posted pictures from the Maldives.
And Griekspoor appeared to feature among Potapova’s, although the image of them together was blurred.
The duo did comment on each other’s posts.
Griekspoor left a spouting whale emoji under Potapova’s snaps, with the world No51 replying with shark and heart emojis.
The 29-year-old captioned his own pictures “Looking for Magikarp and Gyarados” – to which Potapova responded: “Find a zuzie first.”
During the following month, Potapova popped up again as Griekspoor was in action in Indian Wells.
Prior to her current relationship, Potapova was married to ATP star Alexander Shevchenko.
The pair began seeing each other in 2022, and tied the knot in December 2023.
Their marriage did not last long, however, as they divorced just nine months later.
Potapova endured Grand Slam disappointment earlier this year.
The former world No21 was forced to withdraw from her first round match at Wimbledon just hours before the contest due to injury.
