Jannik Sinner’s relationship comments stir controversy as ex-girlfriend Anna Kalinskaya unfollows him

Jannik Sinner’s recent remarks about his relationship with Anna Kalinskaya have sparked attention, especially after reports surfaced that Kalinskaya had unfollowed the Italian tennis star on social media. The comments, made during an interview, suggested that he views having a girlfriend as something that should feel “natural” and not interfere with his identity as both a player and a person. Sinner emphasized that maintaining his personal life without affecting his professional one was key to the success of their relationship.

“I don’t think anything has changed,” Sinner said. “Having a girlfriend is something that either makes you feel good or makes you feel bad. I want it to be something that feels very natural, which comes into my life normally. I can’t afford to change as a player or as a person. That hasn’t happened, that’s why it works.”

The statement followed reports of Kalinskaya unfollowing Sinner on social media, which some have linked to the controversy surrounding his comments. While no direct explanation has been given for her actions, the situation has drawn attention to the dynamics of the couple’s relationship and how public scrutiny affects personal matters. The incident has added fuel to the speculation about the couple’s future, but both continue to focus on their respective tennis careers.

As the 2024 season progresses, Sinner remains committed to maintaining balance between his professional ambitions and his personal life.
