"For every door that closes there is always another that opens," Sinner's ex breaks silence as he moves on with Kalinskaya
ATP
Jannik Sinner’s ex-girlfriend, Maria Braccini, broke her
silence for the first time since the world No. 1 confirmed his new relationship
with Anna Kalinskaya. The Italian model spoke about her recent private years as
she anticipates a new chapter in her life.
Braccini started dating Sinner in 2020 until the end of 2021
when the couple briefly separated, though they reconciled weeks later. Sinner
and Braccini rarely showcased their relationship on social media, except for
some interactions from the tennis player on Braccini’s posts or wishing her a
happy birthday.
"I never talked about myself on social media, I never
shared anything about my private life or what I did," Braccini wrote under
her recent post. "In recent years I have worked hard to realize one of my
biggest dreams," she said, adding, "I was patient, I studied, I was
rejected but I never stopped believing and working to improve myself, silently
so as not to have easier roads."

"I made a journey to sign a piece of paper that was
really important to me and which marks the beginning of a new and long
journey," Maria Braccini added. "Thank you to each of you for all the
affection you have always shown me, especially in this last period, I am
immensely grateful. Often, reading you, I have had teary eyes, aware of the
affection and support you have given me," she said.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you with all my
heart," Braccini added. "The photos in the carousel are happy and
special moments of this last month. And then… How do you say it? For every door
that closes there is always another that opens. See you soon," Jannik
Sinner’s ex-girlfriend concluded.

- Was Saba not paying attention to those who sought an inordinate amount of attention outside of their sport (occupation)... and to the point they lost their focus and eventually their place in tennis? For example: Giorgi, Bouchard, Raducanu, etc. They became infatuated with endless Selfies, videos, podcasts, TV commercials, magazine shoots, and so on. Thus their tennis suffered. Priorities are important.
mandoist14-11-2026 - I, like writer of this wonderful article, also picked Noskova to win this entire thing. I would love it if she and Andreeva are in the final.Rapunzel12-11-2026
- "Priorities", Saba... spend less time in front of cameras, anti-Social Media, selfies and back to Tennis.
mandoist12-11-2026 - Tell this to Andreeva!
mandoist12-11-2026 - Andreeva with 11 games in a row to add to Saba's downward spiral issue !!! Personal feelings aside... Jess Pegula may want to reassess her evaluation of Mirra's abilities.
mandoist12-11-2026 - I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.
mandoist09-11-2026 - Ironically, Martina became a U.S. Citizen about the same time as the Orange Convicted Felon & Abuser was just beginning on his road to losing all Daddy's Millions!!
mandoist09-11-2026 - "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?
mandoist09-11-2026 - Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
