Jannik Sinner and Anna Kalinskaya’s vacation snap stirs criticism on social media
Jannik Sinner and Anna Kalinskaya were photographed enjoying some time off in Sardinia, Italy. The couple is off the action this week and was seen in the Costa Esmeralda region of Italy following their respective Wimbledon exits. The Russian withdrew during her match against Elena Rybakina, while Sinner fell short against Daniil Medvedev in the quarter-finals.
As the Italian prepares for his debut at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games starting July 26 at Roland Garros, the 25-year-old Russian has decided to skip the Olympics to travel to the WTA 500 Washington Open at the beginning of the US hardcourt swing.
Critics target Sinner and Kalinskaya’s holiday
After a demanding grass-court swing, both players decided to take a brief break from competition. Sinner played 10 matches in three weeks from the start of the Halle Open until his Wimbledon exit, similar to the 9 matches Kalinskaya contested in the same period between the Berlin Ladies Open and her Wimbledon departure.
However, photos of both players taking a break have sparked criticism from some fans. The Italian media outlet Chi shared a glimpse of them on a beach on July 17, and reactions on social media were swift: “Paparazed for the 1st time,” posted a fan account of Sinner on X, triggering a reaction from fans.

“This is worse than Paula and Stefanos,” one fan wrote. “Wimbledon is over Jannik, you can change your outfit,” another commented on the post. “Wasn’t he supposed to be sick? Or was that another of his excuses to save himself from the embarrassment after getting paraded around as the overwhelming favorite? Anyway, love their extremely ‘private’ relationship.”
Here you can find more reactions to the pictures. It seems like despite their relationship getting lauded by other people that the people who criticise are still very much a reality.
