The next tennis power couple? Anna Kalinskaya spotted in stands watching Jannik Sinner after romance rumours
ATP
Over recent weeks, rumours have turned into tangible evidence that Jannik Sinner is dating fellow pro, Anna Kalinskaya as a new tennis power couple is seemingly in town with the latest signs coming from his opening win over Christopher Eubanks in Paris.
Kalinskaya perhaps shouldn't have been on Court Suzanne-Lenglen as she is set to play albeit after the rain delay against Clara Burel on an outside court. But she was pictured by Italian outlet, Ubitennis inside the court watching Sinner days after reports swelled about their relationship.
Sinner was in a long-term relationship with model and influencer, Maria Braccini although they took a break back in 2021. But it now seems that with Sinner keeping his private life just that and not splashing his relationships all over social media that they have parted ways.

Social media detectives have been rampant in recent days trying to put pieces of the puzzle together after Correire Della Sport in Italy posted a rumour piece in which they said that both Sinner and Kalinskaya were in Turin. This amid Sinner's recent treatment at the Juventus Medical Centre which seems to have worked. The Italian ace sealed his opening win and will return later this week to face Richard Gasquet.
Like alluded to Kalinskaya will face Burel. Further evidence showed a photo with a fan in Monaco and Sinner's phone was getting a phone call at the time. Eagle eyed detectives zoomed in and the name on the phone was Anna. People put two and two together amid the rumours and they seemed to be correct in their estimations.
Also they were spotted out having dinner in Paris in recent days with Italian media reporting that “They didn’t choose a table, but sat at the big bar the whole time, chatting very closely and trying not to be noticed.” They also were seen on court together between practices at Roland Garros furthering these rumours.
But despite Kalinskaya seemingly confirming the rumours by being there, Sinner likely will keep it more private. He previously admitted that it is something that he will never post on social media. "Whether or not I am with a girl will never be known on social media, because I want to keep my private life private,” the Italian said.
“I don’t need to post a photo to show whether I’m engaged. I never posted pictures with my parents, maybe one with my brother.”
Also Kalinskaya will be fairly wary. The 25-year-old Russian who is having the best year of her career reaching the Dubai final previously dated Nick Kyrgios. That relationship was fairly in the gaze of the tennis public and ended pretty fractious. So while she is now not dating someone perhaps of the same character profile, Kalinskaya will likely keep it to subtle hints like this over gushing social media posts.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
