Massimo Gramellini: “Sinner-Kalinskaya as Berrettini-Satta”
After climbing the ranking ATP and having become the first Italian tennis player ever to reach the position number one of the ranking on June 10th, Jannik Sinner cashed in some defeats mainly due to small ailments that have undermined his conditions. According to some (seated) fans, however, the real reason for this physical drop and psychological would be attributed to the life off the field of the South Tyrolean champion, and in particular to his relationship Anna Kalinskaya. After the love affair with Maria Braccini, in fact, Sinner linked himself to the Russian tennis player, but according to the hater would have lost the focus total on professional life.
To report the situation was Massimo Gramellini, within its known daily section “Il Caffè” on the Corriere della Sera. The reporter said he received many emails from detractors by Sinner, who attributed the recent defeats of the blue champion to the “Russian”, his partner Anna Kalinskaya. “‘ All of Russia’s fault ’, say the detractors, without any malice towards the President of the Senate, but alluding to the unpronounceable Kalinskaya with whom Sinner (horror!) he has just spent a few days of vacation in Sardinia “joked Gramellini, ironically:” What rubbish will you ever want Sinner and his no less rigid companion to do? At most they will pull nine in the evening to get drunk on mineral water. If, on the other hand, someone seriously thinks that being a couple takes away energy, then only priests (and not all) should participate in the Olympics “.
After almost an exact year, the comparison is almost inevitable: last summer was Matteo Berrettini to end up in the eye of the hurricane for its disappointing results, attributed by some hater to his report (now over) with the showgirl Melissa Satta. “Until a few months ago, says the vulgate of social media and the many (male) readers who send heartfelt emails on the subject, the single Jannik Sinner was an invulnerable superhero, while the boyfriend Matteo Berrettini dragged on from one injury to another. Then there was the reversal of roles: the return single Berrettini has started to stay (and play) well, and the new boyfriend Sinner has turned into a field hospital “highlighted Gramellini himself.
