In a revelation that has stirred the tennis world, world number two Jannik Sinner has confirmed that he is dating Russian tennis player Anna Kalinskaya, who previously dated Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios. The couple was recently spotted enjoying a dinner and practicing together at a tennis club in Italy, as reported by The Sun.
Sinner, typically reserved about his personal life, made the announcement following his victory in the first round of the French Open men’s singles on May 27. When asked about his romantic life, Sinner confirmed his relationship with Kalinskaya, who is also competing in the tournament.
“I don’t like to share too much about my personal life, but it’s true that Anna and I are dating,” Sinner stated.
Kalinskaya, who is three years older than Sinner, has had an impressive career in her own right. She recently won her first match at the French Open women’s singles, defeating France’s Clara Burel in straight sets, 7-5, 7-5. Following her victory, she was seen courtside, cheering for Sinner during his match.
Kalinskaya, currently ranked 23rd in the world, reached the quarter-finals of the Australian Open women’s singles earlier this year. The 25-year-old athlete had a high-profile relationship with Nick Kyrgios from 2019 to 2020, before confirming their split in May 2020.
Before dating Kalinskaya, Sinner, 22, had been in a relationship with Italian model Maria Braccini. The rising star in tennis, Sinner secured his first Grand Slam title at the 2024 Australian Open and currently ranks second in the world. He has emerged as a formidable challenger to Novak Djokovic, defeating the legendary Serbian player in three of their last four encounters.
The confirmation of their relationship has sparked a mix of surprise and curiosity among fans and followers. Many are intrigued by the connection between Sinner and Kalinskaya, given their professional accomplishments and previous relationships within the tennis community.
As both players continue to compete in the French Open, the spotlight will not only be on their performances but also on their newly confirmed relationship, adding an extra layer of interest and speculation in the tennis world.
