The Italian media is abuzz with rumors that tennis players Anna Kalinskaya and Jannik Sinner might be a couple, as both are currently in Turin.
According to Gazzetta, it appears that Jannik has parted ways with his long-time girlfriend Maria Braccini, sparking speculation about a budding romance with fellow tennis player Kalinskaya. Sinner and Braccini had been together for four years, dating back to his days at the Riccardo Piatti Academy. However, the couple has always kept a low profile, with Maria making only one public appearance alongside Jannik when he was invited to San Siro to watch a football match between Milan and Borussia Dortmund.
It now appears that the Italian ATP player, known for his privacy concerning personal matters, is dating the Russian tennis beauty, Kalinskaya, who was previously linked with Nick Kyrgios. Reports suggest that Kalinskaya has been spotted in Turin recently while Sinner has been undergoing treatment at the J Medical facility in the same Italian city.
The timing of these sightings has raised eyebrows and fueled speculation in the media. While neither Sinner nor Kalinskaya has confirmed or denied the rumors, their alleged relationship has certainly set tongues wagging in the tennis world.
The 25-year-old Kalinskaya was born in Moscow in 1998. She currently holds the 26th spot in the world rankings, standing close to her career-high of No.24. This year she made her best career achievement by reaching the final of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships where she lost to Italian Jasmine Paolini.
UPDATE: It’s official, Jannik Sinner has confirmed the relationship with Anna Kalinskaya, talking to the press following his first-round match at Roland Garros.
