IC Markets has entered a sponsorship partnership with
Australian tennis player Alexei Popyrin ahead of the 2026 season.
Earlier this month, the MoneyGram
Haas F1 Team named IC Markets as its official forex trading partner. The
agreement was announced ahead of the Formula 1 season finale at the Yas Marina
Circuit. The multi-year deal places IC Markets branding on several parts of the
car, including the nose, front wing, halo, and cockpit headrests.
Popyrin Targets Return After Injuries
Popyrin is 26 years old. He has won three ATP singles titles
and one doubles title. His career includes a win at the Montreal Masters 1000
during the 2024 Canada Open. He was the first Australian to claim an ATP
Masters 1000 title since Lleyton Hewitt in 2003.
The partnership comes as Popyrin prepares for the start of
his 2026 season. He is scheduled to open his campaign at the Brisbane
International and the Adelaide International. He will then compete at the
Australian Open.
Popyrin said he was “looking forward to starting the season
strong with IC Markets.” He referred to injuries last year and said he had “put
in the work to come back better.” He added that the partnership reflected a
“focus on performance and continuous improvement.”
Entered ATP Top 20 in 2025
In August 2025, Popyrin entered the ATP Top 20. The ranking
followed quarterfinal finishes at the Monte Carlo and Toronto Masters events
and a fourth-round appearance at Roland Garros in May. Injuries later affected
his season and his position in the rankings.
Peter Tardent, General Manager of IC Markets Australia, said
Popyrin’s “speed and precision” reflected the company’s approach. He said IC
Markets was “proud to support him” during the 2026 season.
IC Markets Expands Presence Across Sports
Earlier, IC
Markets partnered with World Table Tennis as the official CFD trading
partner for the 2024–2025 season. The agreement was part of the broker’s
broader involvement in sports sponsorship and gave it access to WTT’s 1.7
billion unique TV viewers in 2023.
