World number two player Jannik Sinner confirmed that he is dating colleague Anna Kalinskaya, who used to be in a relationship with Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios.
Recently, Sinner and the Russian tennis beauty were seen having dinner and practicing together at a tennis club in Italy, The Sun reported.
The Italian star is usually tight-lipped about his personal life, but when asked about love after winning the first match of the French Open men’s singles on May 27, he confirmed that he was dating Kalinskaya, who’s also competing at the tournament.

“I don’t like to share too much about my personal life, but it’s true that Anna and I are dating,” Sinner said.
Kalinskaya is three years older than Sinner. Like her boyfriend, she also won the first match at the French Open women’s singles, defeating France’s Clara Burel after two sets with the same score 7-5. The Russian tennis beauty was also said to be at the court to show support for Sinner after that.
Kalinskaya is currently 23rd in the world. She reached the quarter-finals of the Australian Open women’s singles earlier this year. The 25-year-old dated Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios from 2019 to 2020. In May 2020, Kalinskaya confirmed that she and Kyrgios are no longer together.

Before his romance with Kalinskaya, Sinner dated Italian model Maria Braccini.
Sinner, 22, is an emerging star of world tennis. He won the 2024 Australian Open, his first Grand Slam and is second in the world ranking. Sinner is considered a formidable opponent of the legendary Serbian player Novak Djokovic, as he defeated him in three of the last four encounters.
