The 2024 Wimbledon Championships has entered its most interesting phase. Top players are battling it out with an aim to dig deep in the tournament. While the Russian star, Anna Kalinskaya was having an amazing run in the tournament, her campaign came to a premature end as she was forced to retire midway through her match against Elena Rybakina. As a result, her boyfriend, Jannik Sinner, looked in a grim state following her withdrawal.

Kalinskaya was trailing 3-6, 0-3 in her pre-quarterfinal match against the former Wimbledon champion. However, she found the going tough and eventually decided to retire. Sinner was present in the stands to cheer his girlfriend in her match against Rybakina. However, when Kalinskaya decided to retire and even broke down, Sinner was left heartbroken watching his girlfriend in this state.

Kalinskaya has always had the back of her boyfriend, Sinner, during her matches in recent times. The Italian star is often spotted cheering for Kalinskaya from the stands. On this occasion, when she suffered a saddening injury that ended her Wimbledon campaign, Sinner looked visibly concerned and in a grim state. He will be hoping that Kalinskaya gets well soon and can compete at the upcoming tournaments.

The Russian star has had a breakthrough 2024 season and has constantly been on the rise. She has had her best runs at the Australian Open and the French Open this year. Despite her withdrawal in the fourth round at Wimbledon, it was her best finish at this tournament. Thus, she would be disappointed with the end caused by an unfortunate injury after putting on all the hard work earlier in the tournament.

Despite keeping their personal lives under wraps, Sinner and Kalinskaya have been quite vocal about their professional lives. The two are often spotted supporting each other from the stands during matches. Last month, Sinner lifted the Halle Open trophy but was left disappointed with his girlfriend’s grim loss.

Jannik Sinner left dejected despite winning a tournament

The Italian star had an ideal preparation for the grass court season as he won the Halle Open title. Sinner defeated Hubert Hurkacz in the summit clash to win yet another title this season. However, it was a bitter-sweet victory for him as his girlfriend, Kalinskaya, lost a close encounter against Jessica Pegula.

Kalinskaya had 6 match points to win the trophy in Berlin but lost in the final set tie-breaker against Pegula. During his victory speech, Sinner expressed his disappointment over Kalinskaya’s heartbreaking defeat, saying, “My girlfriend Anna played in Berlin today. She lost, with 6 match points. So I’m very sorry for her. She also had an amazing week.”

Indeed, Sinner set couple goals by sympathizing with Kalinskaya despite his victory in Halle. It goes to show how close-knit their bond is. Meanwhile, Sinner will hope to lift the mood after his girlfriend’s injury as he takes on Daniil Medvedev in the quarterfinal clash tomorrow.
