Jannik Sinner, the world No. 1 and defending Australian Open champion, is set to play in the final against Alexander Zverev. As he prepares for the big match, some attention has also been focused on his relationship with fellow tennis star Anna Kalinskaya. Both players have largely kept their relationship private, but rumors and public interest have occasionally surfaced.
Sinner, 23, and Kalinskaya, 26, have not publicly addressed their relationship in detail, despite fan speculation. Kalinskaya previously dated Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios, and the pair broke up in 2020. Since then, Sinner and Kalinskaya have been linked, with tennis fans interpreting various signals, such as them unfollowing each other on social media, as signs of a potential split.
Sinner has spoken about his desire to keep his private life out of the spotlight, stating, “Whether or not I am with a girl will never be known on social media, because I want to keep my private life private.” He emphasized that having a relationship should feel natural and shouldn’t change who he is as a player or person.
Kalinskaya, meanwhile, has also garnered attention from athletes outside of tennis. During an Instagram Q&A, she revealed that she has been approached by footballers on social media, although she has not pursued any of those interactions.
Despite the rumors, both Sinner and Kalinskaya appear to have handled the scrutiny with poise, focusing on their tennis careers. Whether together or apart, the two continue to make headlines both on and off the court.
