Anastasia Potapova and Tallon Griekspoor continue to draw attention as their frequent appearances together fuel ongoing speculation about a possible relationship. Although neither player has confirmed anything publicly, their shared offseason activities suggest a close bond. Their latest outing—a night at a music concert in Dubai—has only intensified interest among fans.
Support on and off the court
Potapova, who recently changed her sporting nationality from Russia to Austria, has been seen supporting Griekspoor at several tournaments throughout the season. Their synchronized travel schedules added to the intrigue, especially when both headed to the Maldives after the 2025 campaign. Potapova even posted a blurred selfie that subtly included Griekspoor, a detail that tennis fans quickly picked up on.
A shared journey through the offseason
After their Maldives getaway, the pair traveled to Russia for the Northern Palmyra Trophies exhibition event in St. Petersburg. Potapova was returning to familiar territory, while Griekspoor was making his debut at the competition.
His participation, however, drew attention back home. Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs David van Weel publicly urged him to reconsider attending the event, citing ethical concerns. Despite the appeal, Griekspoor proceeded with his plans and expressed satisfaction upon arriving. “Actually, I was supposed to come here last year, but it didn’t work out,”
Griekspoor said. “Now I’m glad I’m finally here.”Enjoying Dubai before the new season
With the exhibition event behind them, Potapova and Griekspoor have returned to vacation mode, spending time together in Dubai. During a night out, Potapova stood out with her sleek ponytail and glittering black halterneck top, paired with jeans featuring distinctive cross details.
The relaxed outing comes at a time when Potapova appears to be embracing a fresh chapter in her personal life. Her divorce from fellow tennis player Alexander Shevchenko, finalized shortly after the 2024 US Open, is now firmly in the past.
As the new tennis season approaches, both players seem to be enjoying a well-earned break. Whether their connection is friendship or something more, their shared travels and public outings have certainly captured the attention of the tennis world.
