Despite the many criticisms and controversies regarding the doping case, Jannik Sinner continues to shine on the court. The same goes for Anna Kalinskaya, his significant other, who has been climbing the WTA rankings in recent months.
The tennis player has reached the twelfth position in the women’s ranking and is currently competing in the quarterfinals of the WTA 500 tournament in Ningbo. Anna Kalinskaya, despite a few too many injuries in recent times, has won 7 singles titles and 9 doubles titles on the ITF circuit, in addition to a WTA doubles title.
In recent months, however, her career has seen a surge, reaching her best ranking at the 12th position. The athlete now seems ready for new successes and could finally win the much-desired WTA singles title. Anna Nikolayevna Kalinskaya was born on December 2, 1998, in Moscow. She is a famous Russian tennis player who has had to deal with a few too many injuries in her career. Recently, however, the Russian athlete has achieved her best ranking, reaching the 26th position in the WTA rankings. Anna Kalinskaya has won 7 singles titles and 9 doubles titles on the ITF circuit in her career, and one WTA doubles title. The class of 1998 has been long affected by continuous injuries and has achieved less than what was expected of her. Who knows, now that she seems to be back in great shape, if she will manage to win her first ATP title. Anna Kalinskaya, before her relationship with Sinner, was dating Nick Kyrgios.
The exuberant Australian tennis player, who has been away from the courts for a long time due to continuous injuries, did not take well to the new relationship with the Italian tennis player and, unsurprisingly, commented ironically on Jannik’s doping case: “The tennis world makes me laugh,” wrote Kyrgios, adding sarcastic emojis, “if you know, you know.” This, along with a couple of other jabs at the Italian, sparked much discussion about this triangle in the tennis world, although in recent days it seems to have calmed down with the Australian’s sweet statements towards the Italian.
“As for my private life, I want to keep it that way. I want to protect the people closest to me by keeping them out of all this. I see it as a small task to perform, almost a duty: they helped me, when I was young, to gain self-confidence, and today I want to protect them in some way,” said Sinner. For this reason, there is not much general news about Jannik’s love story and, before their announcement, about the relationship with Anna Kalinskaya.
