General Director of the Northern Palmyra Trophies tournament Alexander Medvedev told that the schedule was developed so that tennis players Alexander Shevchenko And Anastasia Potapova managed to celebrate the wedding before their tournament debut and also wished the couple victory in mixed doubles at Grand Slam tournaments in the future.
Russian tennis players Alexander Shevchenko and Anastasia Potapova got married on Friday in St. Petersburg. The athletes posted photos from the wedding on their social media accounts. The ceremony took place at Wedding Palace No. 1 on the Promenade des Anglais.
Shevchenko and Potapova will participate in the international tournament of the Northern Palmyra Trophies, which will be held from December 1 to 3 in St. Petersburg.
“We knew in advance that such an important event as a wedding would take place as part of the tournament. The schedule was therefore correctly established. This is why Shevchenko and Potapova are not playing today. Tomorrow they will be on the courts.
Surprises await you and you will know about them very soon. I want to wish them success in individual performances and success in mixed doubles at Grand Slam tournaments. In the history of world tennis, as far as I remember, a husband and wife have never won a Grand Slam tournament together. This is exactly the kind of victory I wish for Alexander and Anastasia. Congratulations to the guys, happiness in your family and sporting life! – Medvedev told .
Shevchenko is 23 years old and ranks 49th in the ATP rankings. Potapova, 22, is 28th in the WTA rankings.
