The romance that shakes the world of tennis: the imperceptible detail in a photo that sparked rumors
Several European media outlets report that Jannik Sinner and Anna Kalinskaya have started a relationship
The story was built on clues, which ended up coming together in Turin. Jannik Sinner , number 2 in the ATP rankings, aged 22, travelled there to treat his hip injury and not miss Roland Garros , the second Grand Slam of the year. The Italian has a chance of taking the number one spot from Serbian Novak Djokovic . Nole is obliged to reach the final in Paris to maintain his lead. If he loses in the final, his pursuer would only need to reach the semi-finals to strike a blow.
In this context, the Italian media was in an uproar with the arrival in the city of Ana Kalinskaya , the 26th tennis player on the list, aged 25. For weeks, rumours of a romance between the athletes have been rife. And after the end of the elite courtship on the circuit between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Badosa , the spotlight has shifted to them.
A few days ago, an innocent photo of Sinner with a fan who wanted to take a picture with him ended up offering another unexpected clue. At the time of the snapshot, the Italian’s mobile phone began to ring . And after its publication, users on the networks decided to enlarge the image and see who the caller was. An unmistakable name appeared: Anna .
Another detail that supports the romance theory is that both are free. Sinner recently ended his four-year relationship with Maria Braccini , during which he jealously guarded his privacy: he only appeared with her at a football match at the San Siro stadium, on the occasion of the clash between Milan and Borussia Dortmund for the Champions League.
Kalinskaya, at the same time, was about to embark on a high-profile new journey with a colleague: no less than with Nick Kyrgios, who separated from him in 2020. His best ranking was the No. 24 in February 2024, no title and accumulate more than three thousand dollars in prizes. 4 pearls of the Argentina title in the Copa America: of Di María and Messi’s gesture with Colombia, at Scaloni’s embrace show and Lavezzi’s appearance Sinner, called one of the leaders of the men’s circuit renewal together with Carlos Alcaraz, was born on 16 August 2001 in the Italian mountain village known as San Candido, or Innichen (if you prefer it in Germany). It is a small location of 80 km squared, located at 1,175 meters above sea level, in the Italian municipality of Bolzano, in the Trentino-Alto region, with a population of 3,400 inhabitants. It is normal that due to the geographical situation the person was forced to practice in the region and thus was inclined to cases naturally. And it didn’t hurt that much. Campeón from 8 to 12, his future was promising on the tables, but he focused on the tennis and the evidence made it that he was not mistaken. Today Jannik finds himself with the inflammation of traumatic origin in his life that forces him to stay awake before returning to action, before the latent risk of becoming chronic and causing his dreams.
At least, your heart seems to be wrapped up to overcome the bad trance.
