We are now nearing the end of the season and it’s time for some of the players to go back home and take some rest after some really hectic schedules. It’s time for them to analyze their performances in 2024 and bring up a better version in 2025. In this season, we’ve seen some stellar comebacks. For example, Anna Kalinskaya started this season ranking 80th in the world, but with the help of her incredible performances throughout the season, she has now jumped up to the 12th spot in the women’s singles ranking. She was last seen in action at the Ningbo Open. Is she done with her season though?

Anna Kalinskaya has played a total of 52 matches this season. She has faced quite a few health issues this year. For example, in Miami, Kalinskaya was forced to withdraw from her fourth-round match, due to a “right thing injury“. Then during the Wimbledon Championship, we saw a similar struggle with Kalinskaya claiming, “I was feeling a bit numb. It affected me quite a lot.” She was forced to retire from her R4 match against Elena Rybakina. Even at the Canadian Open, she had to withdraw from her match. So, overall it has been a mix of good and a few bads for the Russian in this season and perhaps now she’s feeling a bit tired too!

Her compatriot, Daria Kasatkina recently uploaded a vlog where these two tennis stars were seen sharing some banter with each other. During one such moment in that small video clip, Kasatkina looked as if she wanted to know whether Kalinskaya was done with her season this year. In reply, we heard Anna Kalinskaya say, “I’m ready for Holidays. I was ready for holidays already when you beat me in January.” To share the context on this, Kasatkina defeated Kalinskaya in the R16 of the Adelaide International by 5-7,6-4,7-5 on January 10. However, after that Anna Kalinskaya made quite a few deep runs in her tournaments this year. Further during the interaction with Kasatkina, she explained that she feels like “Autumn Blues” now and claimed, “I’m not in a romantic mood.“

For those who are unaware, Autumn Blues is like a form of sadness that appears in autumn and winter when the night is longer than the day. Is she feeling a bit exhausted after having taken part in a hectic schedule or is she really missing her boyfriend Jannik Sinner who’s currently busy preparing himself for the 2024 ATP Finals? Well, her claims of not being in a romantic mood perhaps give us a hint on this. However, talking about these two love birds, Jannik Sinner and Anna Kalinskaya made their relationship public in May this year during the French Open. The couple, although private about their personal lives, have frequently supported each other from the sidelines ever since then. In fact, fans also love seeing them together!

Their love for this tennis couple is so intense that just a few days ago we heard a rumor about Sinner getting married to Kalinskaya. How did these two players react to this rumor?

“Not true” – Anna Kalinskaya denied all the rumors surrounding her marriage with Jannik Sinner

Seeing the tennis couple together multiple times over the last few months, made some of the fans conclude that they might have just secretly got married. For example, during the US Open, fans saw the couple share an adorable kiss while celebrating Jannik Sinner‘s emphatic triumph. Then even after Jannik Sinner’s loss to Carlos Alcaraz at the China Open final, we saw Kalinskaya affectionately hugging Sinner and consoling him after the defeat. Those were the times when we found the couple in a “romantic mood!“

Speaking about the support he gets from Kalinskaya all the time, Sinner said, “As tennis players we are, you know, different. I am different also to other tennis players. But for sure I always try to support her because she also tries to support me, giving some positive energy.” They’ve been spotted at the same venue supporting each other during their matches multiple times this season. However, when they have to stay far away from each other due to professional commitments, perhaps that’s the time when they miss each other the most. That’s the harsh reality of being a professional tennis player, it takes valuable time out of personal lives with hectic schedules.

Now coming back to their not-so-romantic confession surrounding the rumors about their marriage. Although, even after marriage, taking the same flight to participate in most of the tournaments, wouldn’t have been a guarantee, still they claimed it was nothing but “fake rumors.” Jannik Sinner said, “It was new also for me, to be honest. No, I didn’t ask, and nothing, nothing happened. I just read the details a little bit that it happened after US Open, but it’s all false, false news.” Even Anna Kalinskaya said the same, “To clarify things about fake rumors: this is not true. Thank you for all your congratulations. False start.“

Both Anna Kalinskaya and Jannik Sinner were in the spotlight with their on-court and off-court activities this season. Sinner has been a true champion this season, winning two major titles. Although Kalinskaya didn’t win a title this year, she played some outstanding tennis and also made some deep runs in her previous tournaments.
