The ongoing tournament in Rome has served tennis entertainment to the fullest but still had an important layer missing. Fan favorite Jannik Sinner, who had to withdraw from Madrid midway and Rome as well, is currently seeking medical attention in Turin. While the chapter about his dominance on the courts seemed to be closed for a while, a different story, related to his love life, took center stage.
Sinner has always kept mum about his private life but eagle-eyed fans have still dug up info. In his four-year-long relationship with Maria Braccini, the tennis star was spotted with her just once in all, during a match between AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund. Now in a difficult phase of his life, rumors suggest that things took an unexpected turn, marking an end to the barely discussed relationship between the two.
Soon after the speculated break-up, it is also assumed that the tennis star has found a new soulmate, this time in Anna Kalinskaya, the Russian WTA star currently ranked at number 26. Soon after the rumors started to make way on social media, fans came forward to share their thoughts on it. The social media posts gathered a mix of emotions in the comment box. A fan, finding the base of this rumor irrelevant, bashed the media channel by saying, “My cousin also lives in Turin. I guess she’s having a nice time with Sinner.” Admittedly, some might see it as too far-fetched a connection.

Another fan, questioning the base of this speculation, wrote, “Isn’t Gazzetta supposed to be a serious newspaper?” highlighting how a dramatic story can find it’s way anywhere and everywhere.
“They need a Sinnskaya Instagram account, let’s gooo,” a fan commented, expressing his excitement after hearing about the speculation and drawing a parallel to ‘Tsitsidosa’, aka Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Badosa. Unfortunately for the tennis community, the couple is now broken up.
Another fan expressed their urge to see the rumored couple in Daria Kasatkina’s next vlog. “Kasatkina should get him for her vlog and find out,” they wrote. The WTA player and her girlfriend Natalia Zabiiako’s ‘What The Vlog’ has gained widespread recognition in the community, with tennis.com even declaring it better than Netflix’s Break Point.
A fan, looking forward to the upcoming event at Roland Garros, gave out the best possible way to find out if the rumors are true. “Let’s see who turns up in each other’s box at RG,” they wrote.

Anna Kalinskaya’s life before rumors with Jannik Sinner

As rumors suggest new strings being attached with Jannik Sinner, it still remains to be seen if any one of them comes forward to publicly confirm the speculations.
