“My Eyes Were Full Of Tears” – Jannik Sinner’s ex-girlfriend Maria Braccini on the Her Failed With The World Number 1 Before Meeting Anna Kalinakaya
Maria Braccini, the former girlfriend of tennis sensation Jannik Sinner, recently opened up about her emotional journey following their high-profile breakup. The Italian model reflected on the challenges she faced after parting ways with Sinner, who is currently ranked World No. 1, and candidly shared how the experience shaped her perspective before finding love again with Anna Kalinskaya.
In an interview with an Italian media outlet, Braccini revealed that the end of her relationship with Sinner left her feeling vulnerable and heartbroken. “I have had teary eyes many times,” she admitted. “It wasn’t easy to move on from a relationship with someone who is not only incredibly talented but also so dedicated to their goals. We had a lot of beautiful moments, but sometimes things just don’t work out the way you hope.”
Braccini, who supported Sinner during the early stages of his career, spoke about the challenges of being in a relationship with a high-profile athlete. The demanding schedules, frequent travel, and immense pressure on the court often left little time for personal connection. “I learned a lot from that time, but it also made me realize the importance of balance in a relationship,” she added.
Since the breakup, both Braccini and Sinner have moved on. Sinner is currently dating Russian tennis player Anna Kalinskaya, a pairing that has captured the attention of tennis fans worldwide. Braccini, for her part, expressed no ill will toward Sinner or his new relationship, emphasizing that she is focused on her own happiness and growth.
Reflecting on her own personal journey, Braccini credited the experience with helping her grow stronger emotionally. “Sometimes, you need to go through pain to understand what you really want in life,” she said. “I’m in a much better place now and have learned to value myself more.”
Her candid remarks offer a rare glimpse into the personal lives of public figures, showing that even those in the spotlight face relatable struggles. As Sinner continues to dominate the tennis world, and Braccini carves out her own path, both seem to have found clarity and purpose following their time together.
