Trouble in paradise or privacy move? Anna Kalinskaya moves to avoid Jannik Sinner questioning after dazzling on Harper's Bazaar cover
Tennis News
Anna Kalinskaya was interviewed by Harper's Bazaar and starred on their Australia issue for January 2025 but the Russian who has ascended herself to new heights in recent months placed a ban on discussion surrounding her boyfriend Jannik Sinner.
Of course when attaining an interview with Kalinskaya, there is going to be some questioning at least attempted with her boyfriend being the current World No.1. They have also been forward facing at times with their relationship with Kalinskaya kissing Sinner on camera after winning the US Open.
But in recent months, they have attempted to keep a low profile. There have been break-up rumours which were snubbed at least for now with Sinner flying to Miami from an awards gala in Italy to celebrate her birthday.
There was no paparazzi and they weren't pictured in the American city perhaps as they intended after Sinner deviated from what he wanted when it came to being out in public about his personal life.
But with Kalinskaya being a top tennis star too, it is hard to escape such coverage and scrutiny. "In the middle of 2024, she began dating year-end world No. 1 Jannik Sinner. At time of writing, the status of that relationship was unclear. Crystal clear, on the other hand, was the pre-interview instruction to BAZAAR not to raise the topic," the piece said.
There has been the merry go round with both players unfollowing each other on socials at points but Sinner liked her recent posts including the one about Bazaar. He has also been quizzed about Kalinskaya in recent months.
"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. She also tries to support me, giving some positive energy," the 23-year-old said previously about his girlfriend.

- 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
