(VIDEO) Tennis power couple Jannik Sinner and Anna Kalinskaya share kiss after Italian wins second Grand Slam title at US Open
ATP
Jannik Sinner had one familiar face supporting him and congratulating him on winning the 2024 US Open in the form of fellow pro, Anna Kalinskaya who he embraced and kissed after his straight sets win over Taylor Fritz in the final.
Sinner and Kalinskaya have been together since prior to the French Open. The World No.1 who previously dated model Maria Braccini and is very much one for keeping his private life just that so perhaps was a surprise when he dated Kalinskaya.
But dating a tennis pro who is also high ranked with Kalinskaya set to reach World No.14 tomorrow for the first time means that it is hard to get away from. He initially shied away from talking about the relationship and merely confirmed it to dispel the rumours circling further.
"You know, I don’t like to talk much about my private life," Sinner said at the French Open. "Yes, I’m with Anna, but we keep everything very confidential. I won’t say more."
But Kalinskaya has been a constant presence alongside Sinner during most tournaments. Due to play in Guadalajara next week initially, she stayed back to watch the final play out with Sinner winning it 6-3, 6-4, 7-5.
It has also been an interesting time both for Sinner but Kalinskaya with the former dodging the reaction to failing two drugs tests getting out and the court of public opinion having their say. Kalinskaya also had her ex boyfriend and fellow tennis player Nick Kyrgios receive heavy backlash for calling Sinner a 'second serve' in a highly slammed comment.
But in the end similar to Sabalenka, the true winner in this was the favourite from Day One and he gets to celebrate with his team and also Kalinskaya. A tough few weeks and one which ends with Sinner confirming himself as the top player in tennis again. Melbourne and now New York, job done.

- 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
