The tennis world has had its fair share of jaw-dropping moments this year—gritty comebacks, shocking upsets, and unforgettable victories that kept fans on the edge of their seats. Now, the buzz for what’s next is already building. And leading the charge is none other than Anna Kalinskaya, Jannik Sinner’s girlfriend, who’s giving fans a glimpse into her mindset as she prepares for the upcoming year.

The Russian tennis sensation wrapped up her year after facing a defeat in the quarterfinals of the Ningbo Open. While she could not win any title this year, Kalinskaya depicted immense potential. This immensely impacted her ranking and she now stands at the 14th spot. And as she prepares for the next year, hoping to amass more success, Kalinskaya is certainly excited as revealed by her latest reaction. 

Taking to Instagram, Kalinskaya’s trainer, Santi Dimperio, shared a video of the Russian player as she can be seen shedding sweat in the gym as well as on the courts. In the visual, Kalinskaya looked extremely determined while carrying out intense exercises. Dimperio captioned the post, “Getting stronger 💪🏼 Drop the volume, increase intensity, more specific exercises on court, getting ready … 🎾.” Kalinskaya was quick to share her reaction to the pre-season campaign. 

Sharing the video on her Instagram story, Kalinskaya wrote, “🤸🏋️🤓 so much fun,” signifying how well she enjoyed practicing for her next season. This also reflected the motivation of the player to prove her mettle going forward. This insight into Kalinskaya’s preparations comes soon after she enjoyed quite some fascinating moments at her home. 

Kalinskaya enjoyed a good number of weeks at her home. In a stunning post that she shared on October 26, Kalinskaya highlighted her happiness being in Moscow and captioned it, “Moscow nights❤️‍🔥” Besides, her best friend Erika Yakhimovich, who is also featured in the latest pictures shared by Kalinskaya, took to her Instagram on November 11 to shed light on their camaraderie.

The star player also shared pictures of a sea as she embarked on a vacation. Captioning it, she wrote, “So peaceful,” highlighting the calmness she enjoyed. However, Kalinskaya has not just captured headlines recently for her professional endeavors and leisure time but also for the rumored straining of her relationship with Jannik Sinner. 

When Jannik Sinner’s remark on Anna Kalinskaya surprised the tennis world

Jannik Sinner and Anna Kalinskaya have emerged as a tennis power couple in the past few months. Ever since the Italian player confirmed his relationship with Kalinskaya during the French Open this year, the couple have been seen exchanging romantic moments both on and off the courts. However, a recent remark from Sinner surprised many in the tennis community. 

In an interview with Esquire, Sinner shared an honest take on Kalinskaya’s impact on his life after the duo started dating. “I don’t think anything has changed,” he said. Continuing further, he added, “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, which comes into my life normally. I can’t afford to change as a player or as a person. That hasn’t happened, that’s why it works.” This led to a lot of speculations with many assuming that the couple had parted ways, especially after they unfollowed each other on Instagram. 

However, the rumors soon started to diminish after media reports suggesting Sinner’s presence with Kalinskaya in Miami emerged. It was reported that the vacation was quite discrete, as none of the players shared pictures from the trip. Besides, Sinner also liked her birthday post and started following her belle again on Instagram. But for now, Kalinskaya seems to be determined for the next year. It will be intriguing to see how well these training sessions help her and if she manages to outshine her opponents next year.
