The 2024 season was massive for Jannik Sinner. He dominated the tennis world with eight titles and ended the year as ATP No. 1. But off the court, his relationship with WTA star Anna Kalinskaya also turned heads. The couple shared sweet, rare moments—like their viral kiss after Sinner’s US Open win—but things seemed to cool down by the end of the year. Limited interactions and social media changes sparked rumors of a breakup. So what’s the deal with this power couple?

To retrace their relationship: Sinner and Kalinskaya reportedly began dating in April 2024 after practicing together briefly. During the French Open in May, the Italian confirmed their relationship, saying, “Yes, I’m with Anna, but we keep everything very confidential. I won’t say more.” Known for guarding his private life, Sinner later told Vanity Fair Italia in June, “I see it as a small task to carry out, almost a duty: they helped me, when I was young, to gain self-confidence, and today in some way I want to protect them.” Being mindful, he chooses to keep his relationships out of the spotlight.

Despite their privacy, they occasionally gave fans heartwarming moments. Remember that unforgettable kiss at the 2024 US Open? After Jannik clinched the title by defeating Taylor Fritz in the finals, he surprised everyone by heading straight to Anna for a sweet celebration. Fans went wild over their affectionate display. Later, the couple also enjoyed a romantic beach holiday in Italy in July 2024. They were spotted having a lovely lunch at Costa Smeralda in Porto Cervo, soaking up the sun and each other’s company.

However, eyebrows raised when in an interview with Esquire in August, Sinner made some surprising comments. When asked about the impact of his relationship on his performance, the World No. 1 said, “Having a girlfriend is something that either makes you feel good or makes you feel bad. I want it to be something that feels very natural.”

This led to rumors that they were taking a break to better understand their relationship, especially since neither was following the other on Instagram—a pretty unusual move.

Later Kalinskaya opted for a vacation in Miami instead of supporting Sinner at the ATP Finals in Turin. While it’s not uncommon for players to have separate commitments, their social media activity and no public appearances together since October fueled speculations, and fans are left wondering what was really going on between this tennis power couple.

Heading into 2025, the pair’s status remains unclear. While they were last seen together at the China Open in October 2024, recent months have shown little interaction between them. Are they still serving love or has this match ended?

Rumors follow Jannik and Anna into the 2025 season

While Jannik Sinner denied breakup rumors, the lack of interaction with Anna Kalinskaya kept fans guessing. With the Australian Open approaching, fate (and tennis) seemed to bring them together again. Sinner arrived in Melbourne early after a snowy holiday in Italy, practicing with players like Alexei Popyrin and Jack Draper to defend his title. Kalinskaya, meanwhile, competed at the Brisbane International, losing in singles to Ashlyn Krueger and falling short in the doubles final with Priscilla Hon.

The buzz peaked when Sinner and Kalinskaya were spotted sharing an embrace at Melbourne Park. On January 9, Carlo Galati from Ubitennis tweeted: “The embrace between Jannik #Sinner and Anna #Kalinskaya on the courts of Melbourne Park,” with a picture of the two at the Rod Laver Arena in an embrace.

Now as Sinner heads into his semifinal against Ben Shelton on Friday at Rod Laver Arena, all eyes are on him—not just for his tennis but also for any sign of support from Kalinskaya. If he wins the title again, could we finally get a shoutout? Only time will tell!
