Right from the start of the year, Jannik Sinner has shown consistency and made his every move count.

However, in the fourth round of the event, he faced an uphill task of Corentin Moutet. While many were confident that he would easily overcome his French opponent, he was quickly taken aback right from the start.

Moutet, who was heavily enjoying the support from his home crowd capitalized on the moment and quickly won the first set. Completely baffled by the situation, Sinner’s fans who could not process the situation took a dig at his girlfriend, Anna Kalinskaya.

Apparently, throughout the French Open, Anna Kalinskaya has been a ray of support for the Italian superstar. She has been spotted in many matches and has provided him with some much-needed confidence. However, during his clash with Moutet, Kalinskaya was not present there.
