I don’t think anything has changed,” Jannik Sinner opened up on what the Anna Kalinskaya relationship brings to his life during his interview with Esquire. After that, they unfollowed each other on IG. Then, some other developments sparked a rumor about their possible breakup. However, amid all this, there is a new rumored update on his ex-girlfriend, Maria Bracinni!

As reported by Tuttosport.com, per the weekly magazine, ‘Diva e Donna,’ Sinner broke off his relationship with Anna Kalinskaya to get closer to Braccini. Is that true? These rumors were sparked by the Russian tennis player’s absence from the ATP Finals and Braccini’s attendance at his matches, leading to speculation about a potential reunion between the two. There was no trace of Anna in Malaga either, where the Davis Cup was won for the second consecutive year by the Italians.

During the US Open, Jannik Sinner and Anna Kalinskaya were spotted exchanging a heartwarming kiss after his victory in the final. Then even, during his loss at the final of the China Open, Kalinskaya was seen consoling Sinner with a warm hug. So, even during the ATP Finals, fans were searching for Kalinskaya in the stands but later on, it was revealed; she was then spending her vacation in Miami with her friends for a couple of weeks of relaxation, as shown in her Instagram stories.

According to some other Italian reports, both Jannik Sinner and Anna Kalinskaya have reportedly taken a break from each other amid a “crisis” so that they can “better understand their relationship and future.”

In mid November, Sinner was also heard saying, “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.

We haven’t heard much from Sinner or Kalinskaya about these rumors surrounding their possible breakup. But we did hear a few words from Maria Braccini when Sinner confirmed his relationship with Kalinskaya in May this year. What did Braccini say at that time?
