Surprise revelations have swarmed the tennis world lately. Fans are only digesting Iga Swiatek‘s shocking split with his longtime coach Tomasz Wiktorowski when (drumroll) Jannik Sinner enters. The Italian superstar has been trending all summer, largely due to his ongoing doping nightmare—however this time, the World No. 1 is likely in it for his romantic finesse.

We’ve all been caught up on Sinner and his girlfriend Anna Kalinskaya making rounds in the sport this year. The Italian player confirmed his romance with the WTA sensation in May during the French Open, emphasizing his intention to keep their private lives as they are; private. “I‘m with Anna, yes, but we keep everything very confidential, you know my confidentiality… I won’t say more.” Though they’ve been discreet about their public appearances, their frequent support of each other knows no bounds.

The Russian star spectated her lover’s US Open triumph in person, with the couple sharing a kiss following the former’s glory in New York. And let’s not joke ourselves, Sinner never shied from showcasing his heartfelt side either. The young talent marked his attendance at the French Open, wherein he supported his girlfriend from the stands. And now, by the looks of it, Sinner wants his support of Kalinskaya extended to life.

As reported by Corriere dello Sport, citing the Italian publication, ‘DiPiu’, the ATP No. 1 instilled the idea of marriage during a party in New York that was held to celebrate his victory at the USO. Irked with the looming spotlight during their public display of affection, Sinner discreetly whispered to the Russian: “And if to avoid all this I asked you to marry me?” In response, Kalinskaya reportedly replied, “I would tell you that I want to”. Exciting, indeed, but still rumors at this point.

Neither Sinner nor Kalinskaya have denied/confirmed the speculations. What’s authenticated though was the Italian star’s candid admission of being each other’s pillars through thick and thin.

Jannik Sinner opens up about an adorable moment with Anna Kalinskaya at the US Open

Italian ‘force to be reckoned with’ Jannik Sinner was on to the next mission after bagging his second Grand Slam title in New York. The World No. 1 commenced the Asian hardcourt swing with his China Open campaign, producing straight nitro to reach the event’s summit clash. Despite preferring to keep his private moments secret, Sinner opened up about his brief moment of affection with Kalinskaya at New York.

Recalling that moment while talking to the media in Beijing, the Italian said, “It was a nice moment. We just support each other as much as we can.” This adorable support was on display in Beijing’s title decider as well, when the Russian WTA player spectated her boyfriend’s nerving clash with Carlos Alcaraz. Moreover, Kalinskaya comforted the 23-year-old with a warm hug after narrowly losing the showdown.

After enduring a heartbreaking loss in Beijing, Sinner unpacked at the Shanghai Masters. Vying for another silverware for his shiny resume, the Italian has reached the event’s third round. He is now due to take on the courts on Tuesday, October 8.
