Jannik Sinner wrapped up his incredible season by leading Italy to victory at the 2024 Davis Cup. After almost 25 years of drought, Italy has emerged as the powerhouse in the racquet sport, clinching its second consecutive title after beating the Netherlands 2-0 in the final. They’re now the first nation to win back-to-back Davis Cups since the Czech Republic (2012, 2013). Jannik Sinner’s role in this incredible rise is truly quite exceptional. However, although his 2024 season was nearly perfect on the court, he does head into the new year with a lot of concerns about surrounding multiple issues off the court. Sinner recently looked back at his “heartbroken” year, and here’s what he had to say.

Apart from his recent heroics at the Davis Cup, the world number one has won 8 titles this season, including 2 Grand Slam triumphs! Shortly after his win at the Davis Cup, Jannik Sinner said, “Returning as defending champions and managing to lift the trophy again is an unbelievable feeling for all of us. This win gives us a massive confidence boost as we head into the preseason.” However, amid all these joys and celebrations, Sinner looked a bit worried and sad when he tried to take a look back at the 2024 season.

Off-the-court, he has weathered quite a few storms this year. First was the doping saga, and then came the rumors of a possible breakup with his girlfriend Anna Kalinskaya. Recalling these tough times in 2024, Jannik Sinner added, “The most important part is that people around me & know me as a human being trust me. That’s also the reason I kept playing the level I had. I had some ups & downs, I was emotionally a bit down, a bit heartbroken. But sometimes life gives u difficulties & you just have to stand for it.“

What had happened between Jannik Sinner and Anna Kalinskaya, though? Well, this thing came into the limelight a few days ago when Jannik Sinner refused to dwell too much on Kalinskaya when asked if he had changed during their relationship. Sinner said, “Having a girlfriend is something that either makes you feel good or bad. I want it to be something that feels very natural, that enters my life normally. I can’t afford to change as a player or a person. This hasn’t happened, which is why it works.“

After that, we saw both of them unfollowing each other on IG. Should it emerge that these two have brought an end to their relationship, then they would be the second tennis ‘power couple‘ to do so in 2024! Previously, Anastasia Potapova confirmed her divorce from Alexander Shevchenko. Although another tennis couple, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Badosa, also briefly split with each other this spring, they reunited shortly after that. Fans are very curious to know about what’s happening between Sinner and Kalinskaya, so here are some other developments that we’ve seen in the last few days.

Jannik Sinner’s ex-girlfriend was spotted in Turin during the ATP Finals

Jannik Sinner confirmed his relationship with Anna Kalinskaya in May 2024. However, a month after that, when he was asked about whether there was any pressure of having a girlfriend and being at the top of the sport, he stated, “Of course, it’s not easy. I travel a lot, and during tournaments, I’m very focused. But I think it’s a beautiful thing when you find the right love. Like for everyone.” Both Sinner and Kalinskaya are at the prime stages of their careers; they spend most of their season traveling around the world. Perhaps there are times when they might find themselves in two different parts of the globe. So, it’s not easy to make a balance amid all these things.

According to various reports, both these tennis stars have reportedly taken a break from each other amid a “crisis” so that they can “better understand their relationship and future.“ When everyone was trying to spot Anna Kalinskaya in the stands during Jannik Sinner’s matches in Turin, she posted pictures from her recent trip to Miami. However, while searching for Kalinskaya, fans spotted Jannik Sinner’s ex-girlfriend sitting in the second row during the final in Turin. Is the Italian tennis star back again with his ex-girlfriend?

Well, these are just rumors and gossip; we’re yet to get a final update from either Jannik Sinner or Anna Kalinskaya. However, we did see Anna Kalinskaya’s brother, Nikolay Kalinskiy, congratulating Jannik Sinner on his emphatic victory at the ATP Finals. After his win in Turin, Sinner shared a few glimpses of his memorable moment on Instagram, and he captioned it with, “Grazie Torino!!!! 🏆💪🏻💪🏻💚🤍❤️.” Later on, we saw Kalinskiy dropping a ‘👏‘ emoji on the post. However, despite all these things off the court, he still managed to put up a strong performance throughout the season. Share your thoughts on Jannik Sinner’s 2024 season.
