Anastasia Potapova and husband Alexander Shevchenko reportedly unfollow each other on Instagram, Russian takes down couple photos

Tennis couple Anastasia Potapova and Alexander Shevchenko have reportedly unfollowed each other on Instagram. The Russian has also taken down their couple photos from her profile.

Potapova and Shevchenko started dating each other at the beginning of 2023 and the Russian opened up about her relationship during the French Open last year.

She admitted that she wasn't sure how they were going to make their relationship work since scheduling in tennis was an arduous task to overcome. However, she was delighted with the fact that they were able to spend a lot of quality time together.

“Obviously, I didn’t know how it was going to work because scheduling in tennis is never easy. But somehow we’ve been able to manage it and in fact, it’s like we’ve spent every week together and we see each other a lot, which is a very good thing,” Potapova told Tennis.com.

She also explained the perks of having someone who not only had a high tennis knowledge but also a wished the best for you. The Russian said she could find support in Shevchenko even if she had a bad day at the office and hence was happy to have found her.

“It’s really helpful to have someone who can support you, not just on your team, but someone you’re close to,” she explained. “He’s someone who not only knows tennis but also wants what is best for you. Even if I play like shit, he’s still going to support me, so that’s very nice to have someone like this on the tour. He understands.”

The couple, in a now taken-down post, announced their engagement in September adding them to the list of tennis couples. They later got married in December last year.

However, in a sudden turn of events, Anastasia Potapova and Alexander Shevchenko have followed each other on Instagram, and not only that, the Russian has also taken down all of her photos together with the Kazakh from her profile.

Anastasia Potapova, World No. 38, had a disappointing outing at Flushing Meadows this year. Though she managed to clinch a huge win against former finalist and 23rd seed Leylah Fernandez in the opening round, she fell to Karolina Muchova in straight sets in the third round.

She teamed up with her compatriot Yana Sizikova for doubles, but the duo was ousted in the opening round itself.

Meanwhile, Alexander Shevchenko, World No. 58, managed to defeat Dominic Koepfer in the opening round following which he had to retire against Frances Tiafoe due to a left knee injury. He didn't enjoy any success in doubles, for which he teamed up with Sam Weissborn, as he was eliminated in the opening round.

The Kazakh is set to face Marco Trungelliti in the opening round of the Hangzhou Open on September 18.
